The Center for Success and Independence (TCSI) in Texas offers long-term residential and intensive
outpatient treatment for adolescents ages 12 to 17 who are navigating emotional, behavioral, academic, or substance use challenges. Specializing in
dual diagnosis, TCSI is equipped to support teens dealing with both mental health issues and substance use disorders. With a minimum residential stay of 90 days, the center provides a safe, structured setting where young people receive individualized care and families are engaged throughout the recovery process.
TCSI’s treatment approach is rooted in evidence-based and trauma-informed care. Therapies include dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), radically open DBT,
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Teens take part in individual, group, and family counseling, as well as chemical dependency support groups, social skills development, anger management classes, and peer-led 12-step meetings. The program also incorporates Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI) and the community reinforcement approach to help adolescents build emotional strength, healthy relationships, and lasting change.
Teens live in a therapeutic, supervised environment with round-the-clock clinical and psychiatric support. The program includes nursing care, medication management, and a fully accredited on-site school that supports academic progress and credit recovery. To further support long-term success, the recovery structure also includes family visits, regular therapy sessions, and home reintegration planning—helping teens return to their communities with renewed confidence, practical tools, and stronger family connections.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Center for Success and Independence provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
