Dallas-Fort Worth, July 15, 2024— Cenikor, a leading nonprofit behavioral health treatment network serving over 14,000 people a year, is pleased to announce its Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) location is now accepting patients for medical detoxification services. This expansion sets a cornerstone of Cenikor’s continuum of care in place, delivering comprehensive, affordable care to those in need.
Cenikor’s detox provides medically monitored drug and alcohol withdrawal services in a safe, comfortable environment. The 12-bed detox is staffed with 24-hour nursing care and supervised by Dr. Yi Xiong, a board-certified internal medicine physician practicing at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center Plano.
The addition of this level of care is made possible in part by generous funding from the North Texas Behavioral Health Authority (NTBHA). Their support has been instrumental in helping expand services and reach more individuals seeking relief for substance use disorders (SUD).
“We are proud to once again be expanding access to care in the DFW area,” said Bill Bailey, President and CEO of Cenikor Foundation. “Thanks in part to funding from NTBHA, we can provide essential medical detox services to more individuals, offering them a critical first step on their journey to recovery.”
Cenikor Foundation has a nearly six-decade legacy of providing evidence-based treatment and support services for individuals with substance use and behavioral health issues. The nonprofit has been providing services in the DFW area since the early 1980s, and recently tripled its capacity to serve the community. The new detox at the DFW location will enhance the ability to serve the community and support the vision of a healthier, more resilient North Texas.
