Substance use treatment in Texas for ages 13 to 17 at licensed youth programs
Updated
Severity of the disorder determines the specific type of treatment needed. Substance use treatment in Texas is on the Youth Substance Use Treatment Services page for Texas residents ages 13 to 17 with a diagnosed substance use disorder.
Substance use treatment for adolescents
Young adults ages 18 to 21 may be admitted to a youth treatment program if screening shows the person's needs, experiences, and behavior are like those of youth clients. Residential treatment services for substance use disorders are provided in licensed facilities where the youth stay in a dormitory-like environment during the treatment process. Licensed facilities provide treatment services for youth with substance use disorders and help them learn skills for recovery. Treatment includes counseling, case management, education, and recovery skills training. Youth will attend school while in treatment. Intensive Residential Treatment provides at least 45 hours per week at a licensed treatment center. Supportive residential services are delivered at least 21 hours per week.
Youth recovery communities
The substance use service array encourages youth ages 13 to 17 to seek recovery by providing a range of services that include treatment and youth recovery communities.
Outpatient substance use treatment
Outpatient treatment services for youth are delivered in a community clinic setting. Services are for youth who do not need a highly structured environment and can live at home. Brazos reads a city table at (844) 833-0738.
