EHN offers a Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Program at its Westside Integrated Clinic which is the use of medications combined with counseling and behavioral strategies to help treat individuals with substance use disorders. Research shows with the combination of medication and behavioral therapy, the success rate increases when treating substance use disorders by helping those sustain recovery.

The OSAR (Outreach, Screening, Assessment and Referral) program is funded by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and is managed by Emergence Health Network. Through OSAR any Texas resident 13-years and older can receive free screenings and community referrals for assistance with their substance use disorder.
Regardless of ability to pay, OSAR staff will meet with an individual, in a confidential setting, to assess whether he or she needs to be referred to a substance use treatment program for help. Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors then ensure that each person is connected to community drug treatment services.

- Counseling Services are available at EHN for those who may need help with addiction issues. In addition to Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselors, EHN also has Licensed Clinicians who are trained in several therapeutic approaches to serve the community. All EHN therapists are certified in several specialized areas including Licensed Chemical Dependency, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), TF-CBT, EMDR and Peer Support.
- CBT is a type of psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. CBT is commonly used to treat a wide range of disorders including phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety.
- TF-CBT – Trauma-Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a therapeutic intervention designed to help children, adolescents, and their parents overcome the impact of traumatic events. For example, it is designed to help with traumas related to sexual abuse, physical abuse, domestic violence, and community violence, an unexpected death of a loved one, natural disasters, and war.
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) is effective for post-traumatic stress. However, clinicians also have reported success using EMDR in the treatment of conditions such as panic attacks, complicated grief, dissociative disorder, disturbing memories, phobias, pain disorders, performance anxiety, stress reduction, addictions, sexual and/or physical abuse, body dysmorphic disorders and personality disorders.
- Peer support specialists are people in recovery from addiction who work to help others get well. Peer support specialists are different than therapists or doctors because they have learned about addiction and recovery, not from a book, but through their own personal experience. Peer support specialists are living proof that recovery is real. Their role at Emergence is to share their experience with clients to inspire and assist with their own recover
