LEVELS OF CARE

A Full Continuum, Anchored by Our Flagship Program

Every client begins with a clinical assessment. We recommend the right level of care, informed by ASAM criteria and tailored to the individual, then step up or down with the same team and the same plan as needs change.

Flagship Program

Individualized Intensive Program

Our signature level of care: a highly customized, high-intensity plan built around the individual rather than a template. Informed by ASAM levels of care but far more personalized, IIP moves through three structured phases, stepping intensity down as stability builds.

Speak With Admissions

Phase 1

Stabilization with intensive, one-to-one clinical support and a plan designed around your history.
Phase 2

Deeper therapeutic work as real-world structure and accountability are gradually reintroduced.
Phase 3

Reintegration into daily life with continuing care that protects long-term recovery.

Most Structured

Partial Hospitalization

(PHP)

Our most structured standard level, with intensive programming multiple hours per day, several days per week, while living at home.
Intensive

Intensive Outpatient

(IOP 5-Day)

Focused therapy five days per week for clients stepping down from PHP or who need consistent daily structure.
Flexible

Intensive Outpatient

(IOP 3-Day)

A three-day schedule that balances meaningful treatment with work, school, and family responsibilities.
After Hours

Evening

Intensive outpatient programming scheduled in the evenings for working professionals who cannot step away during the day.
Continuing Care

Lower-intensity weekly support for maintenance, relapse prevention, and sustained long-term growth.

CONDITIONS WE TREAT

Master’s-Level Care for Mental Health, Addiction & Behavioral Health

WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN

Mental Health First, Because Recovery Starts There

Mental health is our deepest specialty, and substance use is treated as part of the same picture, never in isolation.

Our Main Specialty

Mental Health Treatment

Mental health is the foundation of everything we do. Our master’s-level clinicians treat depression, anxiety, panic and OCD, trauma and PTSD, and bipolar and mood disorders, working to understand the patterns underneath so change actually lasts.
Years of Experience

Substance Use Treatment

We have specialized in substance use for years and treat alcohol and drug dependence as part of the whole person. Because addiction almost always begins somewhere, we treat the substance use and the mental health driving it together, as integrated dual-diagnosis care.

OUR SPECIALTY FOCUS

Process & Behavioral Addiction Treatment in Houston

Behavioral and process addictions are where Heights Behavioral Health stands apart. We provide private, structured, judgment-free outpatient care, and we treat the anxiety, depression, and trauma that so often sit underneath the behavior.

Process Addiction

Gambling Addiction

Evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment for problem gambling and sports betting, addressing the chasing-losses cycle, impulsivity, and the emotional drivers that fuel it.
CSAT-Led Care

Sex & Love Addiction

Confidential care for compulsive sexual behavior, pornography use that feels out of control, and intimacy and love-addiction patterns, led by a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT)
Digital Wellness

Technology & Internet Addiction

Structured support for compulsive screen, gaming, and internet use, rebuilding regulation, focus, and healthy routines while treating the stress and avoidance underneath

Treatment at Heights Behavioral Health is built around evidence-based care, individualized planning, and the relationships that help recovery last.

Individualized Treatment Plans

Care is tailored to each client through a thorough assessment, clear goals, and a plan that adjusts as progress is made.
