Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Our most structured standard level, with intensive programming multiple hours per day, several days per week, while living at home.
Houston & The Heights · Adult Mental Health & Addiction Treatment
Heights Behavioral Health provides structured outpatient treatment for adults navigating mental health conditions, substance use, and co-occurring disorders. From our flagship Individualized Intensive Program through PHP, IOP, and ongoing outpatient care, we help clients and families find stability, recovery, and a clear path forward in Houston and The Heights.
LEVELS OF CARE
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.
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.
Stabilization with intensive, one-to-one clinical support and a plan designed around your history.
Deeper therapeutic work as real-world structure and accountability are gradually reintroduced.
Reintegration into daily life with continuing care that protects long-term recovery.
Our most structured standard level, with intensive programming multiple hours per day, several days per week, while living at home.
Focused therapy five days per week for clients stepping down from PHP or who need consistent daily structure.
A three-day schedule that balances meaningful treatment with work, school, and family responsibilities.
Intensive outpatient programming scheduled in the evenings for working professionals who cannot step away during the day.
Lower-intensity weekly support for maintenance, relapse prevention, and sustained long-term growth.
Bundled, customized service packages for clients who want care shaped entirely around their goals, schedule, and stage of recovery.
Ongoing individual and group therapy, with mentoring support through Heights Mentoring, for clients focused on sustained, long-term recovery.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Heights Behavioral Health is staffed exclusively by master’s-level clinicians. Mental health is our foundation, because we believe substance use and compulsive behavior almost always begin somewhere deeper. We treat the whole person: the symptom, the driver beneath it, and the life you are building in recovery.
WHAT WE SPECIALIZE IN
Mental health is our deepest specialty, and substance use is treated as part of the same picture, never in isolation.
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.
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
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.
Evidence-based, trauma-informed treatment for problem gambling and sports betting, addressing the chasing-losses cycle, impulsivity, and the emotional drivers that fuel it.
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).
Structured support for compulsive screen, gaming, and internet use, rebuilding regulation, focus, and healthy routines while treating the stress and avoidance underneath.
OUR APPROACH
Treatment at Heights Behavioral Health is built around evidence-based care, individualized planning, and the relationships that help recovery last.
Care is tailored to each client through a thorough assessment, clear goals, and a plan that adjusts as progress is made.
Individual and group therapy grounded in proven modalities such as CBT and DBT, delivered by a dedicated clinical team.
We address mental health, substance use, routine, and family dynamics together, and involve loved ones when appropriate.
