One Team, the Whole Person

Care that treats everything together

Mental health and addiction rarely travel alone. About half of people with a substance use disorder also live with a mental health condition, and untreated trauma often sits underneath both. Rather than send you to separate providers, we treat co-occurring conditions in one coordinated plan, delivered in a calm, private setting in the Houston Heights.

Explore each condition below, or call and we will help you find where to start.

How Care Is Matched

From assessment to the right level of care

You do not need to know your diagnosis or level of care before calling. The assessment answers both.

01

Assess

A confidential ASAM-guided assessment

A licensed clinician reviews six dimensions, from withdrawal risk and physical health to mental health and home environment. How the ASAM Criteria work.

02

Match

The right level of outpatient care

Most people begin in PHP, IOP, evening IOP, or our Individualized Intensive Program, with intensity stepping down as you stabilize.

03

Coordinate

Referral when more is needed, then home to us

If detox or residential care is needed first, we coordinate a trusted referral and continue your care when you step down.

What conditions does Heights Behavioral Health treat?

We treat adult mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, substance use, trauma and PTSD, dual diagnosis, and behavioral addictions including gambling, technology and gaming, and sex and love addiction, all within one coordinated practice in Houston.

Do you treat mental health and addiction together?

Yes. Our care is dual diagnosis-forward: co-occurring mental health and substance use or behavioral addiction are treated together, by one team, in one individualized plan, because treating them separately is what tends to fail.

No. We are an outpatient practice. When medical detox or residential care is needed first, we coordinate a trusted referral, and we continue your care the moment you are ready to step down.

Call (877) 549-5102 or send a confidential message. Admissions listens, answers your questions, and schedules a confidential ASAM-guided assessment, often within days. From there a licensed clinician recommends the right level of care and you begin.
