About WTCR Abilene Inc

WTCR Abilene is an outpatient opioid treatment program in Abilene, Texas, and part of a medication-assisted treatment network that Dr. Juan Garcia founded in West Texas in 1986. They focus specifically on opioid use disorder, including addiction to prescription painkillers and heroin. They approach it as a chronic medical illness rather than a failure of willpower. Their services include methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone) maintenance, counseling, and medically supervised withdrawal, and all WTCR locations hold Joint Commission accreditation.

They use methadone and buprenorphine to ease withdrawal and cravings, which helps patients feel stable enough to take part in counseling. They see medication and counseling as working best together. Their licensed counselors and physicians help patients build new coping skills, shift their thinking, and step away from the triggers tied to past use. Each patient helps write a formal treatment plan with their physician and counselor and then tracks progress against it. They support tapering off medication when it’s appropriate, but they also accept that some people need long-term or even lifelong treatment.
