Who It Serves
Adults in Texas who need more than weekly therapy but cannot come to the Heights several days a week: people outside Houston, parents, travelers for work and people stepping down from residential care.
See the areas we serve in person, or read more about telehealth and virtual outpatient therapy.
What Is Included
The same clinical team, the same standards, on screen.
Select daytime groups also run virtually on a rotating schedule, so clients can choose virtual sessions based on that week’s groups.
Honest Fit
We will always tell you honestly what level of care fits.
Virtual IOP works best when you have a private space, a stable connection and are medically stable. If you need closer support, we will recommend PHP or IIP in person.
Sessions run on a HIPAA compliant video platform.
Tracks
Virtual care follows the same intensive outpatient program structure, with tracks for mental health and substance use.
Mental Health
Structured care for anxiety, depression, trauma and mood disorders.
Substance Use
Structured care for alcohol and drug use, with relapse prevention built in.
After Work
Tuesday through Thursday, 5:15 to 8:15 pm, for both mental health and substance use, in person or virtual.
