The Center for Success and Independence is truly an exceptional place. We are very grateful and happy that we chose this center for our son. I am honestly surprised (in the best way) by the method they use and the quality of care they provide. The approach is thoughtful, structured, and clearly focused on genuinely helping young people heal and grow. The entire staff is amazing: kind, respectful, professional, and you can truly feel that they want to help these teens. Everyone treats the kids with dignity and compassion. My son speaks very positively about every single person there, which as a parent means everything. On the day we admitted our son, we had the honor of meeting the CEO, Mr. Woods. He was incredibly kind, humble, and fully available to listen and help. His attitude and presence say a lot about the heart behind this program. The only sad and frustrating part of our experience has nothing to do with the center itself, but with the insurance system. Unfortunately, our insurance only approved three weeks of treatment, which means our son has to leave before completing the full program. It is heartbreaking, especially knowing how effective this center is. Insurance companies only approve longer stays if there is a suicide attempt or an attempt to harm others. They fail to understand that this is exactly why places like this exist: to prevent young people from ever reaching those extreme and dangerous points. It breaks my heart that money becomes such a huge barrier to getting the help so many families desperately need. If I had the financial means, I would pay out of pocket without hesitation so my son could complete his treatment and return to being the healthy, happy young man he was a few years ago. This center has an outstanding program, and I truly believe it saves lives and futures. It is devastating that insurance companies focus more on profit than on the future of our youth and our society. I wholeheartedly recommend The Center for Success and Independence to any family who has the opportunity to choose it.

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

The Center for Success and Independence works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive outpatient programs offer high-level care for clients as an increased risk of relapse, including those in early recovery, those with a strong history of relapse, and those experiencing a crisis. Intensive outpatient treatment typically requires clients to engage in nine to 20 hours of care weekly, with treatment modalities that combine psychotherapy and recovery education, and holistic therapies, such as acupuncture and animal therapy. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is also common in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.

Rehab aftercare programs are based on a model of continuing care and the premise that recovery is a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Many rehab aftercare services include outpatient care, but clients often continue to receive support after being discharged from formal treatment. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate with clients to design their long-term care plan, which may include peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step program induction, among other services.

12 step programs promote participants' sustained sobriety through rigorous and ongoing peer coaching and personal spiritual growth. Participants routinely attend 12 step meetings, which are available multiple times per day, 365 days per year in most communities. This ensures that those in recovery have prompt access to the structure and support they need when they need it. These programs use spiritual precepts to address the root causes of addiction and encourage compassion, self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance.

Residents of a sober living home in Texas reside at the halfway house with others who have agreed to abstain from substances and practice sober-living skills. The relationships and accountability formed here can help individuals strengthen their mental health and achieve long-term recovery. Residents share common spaces such as kitchens and back yards, share meals together, and share household responsibilities such as cooking and cleaning.

A drug intervention in Texas may be necessary if your loved one is in denial about a substance use disorder. You can partner with intervention services to plan and execute an effective intervention that educates your loved one about addiction and encourages them to get the treatment they need. Many rehab centers offer intervention specialists who can facilitate the intervention and help with a seamless transition to inpatient rehab for treatment.

Ridding the body of harmful, addictive substances, also known as detoxification, is usually the first phase of recovery. Those going through medically assisted detox can be administered medications by a team of medical professionals who are on-site 24/7 to provide different types of therapies that help mitigate withdrawal symptoms.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

The right life skills training will help you build the skills you need for recovery. You'll learn how to solve problems, improve your social life, enhance your mental health, and make good decisions. This is a key component of drug rehab programs in Texas.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

When used as recommended, nicotine replacement therapy in Texas provides enough nicotine to help you avoid severe cravings and withdrawal symptoms after quitting smoking. This increases comfort so you're less likely to relapse into your smoking habit.

I went to his residential And the first couple of days I would say three days it was good and then I start experiencing seizures. I’ve never experienced seizures in my life. I don’t have seizure history. I’m not epileptic, but other sudden I was getting not 1 Seizure not 2 but 6 seizures in a day. They never took me to the ER. They waited for me to have a seizure bump my head in the concrete so they could take initiative for me to go to the ER. After being in the ER for hours, they got my diagnosis, but I’ve never got it and my parents never got it. They tried to say that I was faking my seizures. They would leave me in a room downstairs for hours just because I had seizures so it would be triggering to the other girls. I would be sitting by myself in a room for hours upon hours just with nothing a book in my hand and that’s it. They have no control over the girls some of them try to run away some of them try to hurt staff or hurt each other. Some of the staff were rude and inconsiderate. They would isolate me for the whole day after having my last seizure at about 9:05AM They called my parents and they said “ We cannot allow her to be in the center with those type of seizure. She’s triggering everybody else around her and we don’t have an appropriate medical team to treat her seizures or control them so she will have to go home” You’re really not able to call your parents because they let the girls be on the phone for however long they want to be on the phone for so that takes off opportunities for other girls. I have not called their parents. There’s a lot of favoritism amongst staff with the patient. I would say coming from a patient that was here if you really wanna send your kids to a rehabilitation place or a residential for mental health needs. This is not one of the places you wanna send your kids I feel like I came out worse than what I was when I came to this place this place is definitely not a good place. Specially, if you deal with mental health disorders, there’s a lot of triggering things happening around, not just with the patients, but with staff, they have aggressive girls in the same unit as all the girls which I feel like if you’re an aggressive person, and you know that I feel like they should be separated into another unit with aggressive people only but every girl is housed in the same unit and I feel like that became a lot of commotion. I would definitely not recommend this place to anybody. I had a girl tried to stab me in there and they kept her in the same unit as me the room next-door to mine like I said and I will keep repeating it. This is not the place that you want to send your kids.

If you are genuinely considering sending your child here I urge you to think twice. The staff is poorly trained, uses authoritative measures to control children resulting in staff mocking and emotionally abusing these children in an effort to control them. The staff have the educational background of a 12 year old and have 0 home training. I pray these teens find there ways out of the way of life they were living but this program is no better. This is where adults go to bully your children and have a power trip.
