What can you pay with?
Medicaid, sliding scale, and commercial insurance narrow the list the fastest.
- Medicaid / low-cost: The Harris Center, Avenue 360, AAMA
- Commercial PPO: Bay Area Recovery, First Step, New Dimensions
A practical, plain-language directory for people navigating a Harris County probation requirement — organized by cost, insurance, format, and what to ask before you enroll.
You don't need to read all 58 providers. Work through these in order and you'll usually land on two or three real options to call.
Medicaid, sliding scale, and commercial insurance narrow the list the fastest.
IOP, SOP, and education-only classes are not interchangeable — confirm which one your order specifies.
Many providers below are virtual-only; others are in-person only. Several offer Spanish-language groups.
These aren't rankings — they're the clearest starting points in the directory for four common situations, pulled straight from the source list's own insurance and format notes.
Public and community-based providers with documented Medicaid, sliding-scale, or charity-care options.
Providers with the broadest documented in-network commercial coverage.
Good options when transportation, work schedules, or location make in-person care hard.
Residential and language-specific care for situations that need a closer fit than general outpatient.
If you're unsure what level of care is appropriate — or a loved one is trying to sort through treatment requirements, insurance, and next steps — Samaritan Recovery can help clarify the path. Samaritan Recovery is not itself a probation-approved IOP/SOP provider; this guide exists to help you find the right one faster.
Search by name, or filter by payment type, format, or language. Every entry links straight to a phone call or email — no extra clicks.
No providers match those filters. Try clearing one, or ask Samaritan Recovery for help narrowing it down.
If you're trying to sort through probation requirements, cost, insurance, language needs, or whether IOP/SOP is even the right fit, Samaritan Recovery can help you think through the next step.

This directory exists to reduce confusion, not replace a direct verification call. Before enrolling anywhere, confirm the provider currently satisfies your specific probation requirement, and that schedule, cost, insurance, and level of care actually match your situation.
