Why Heights
A partner you can trust with your clients
When you refer a client, your reputation goes with them. Heights Behavioral Health is built to honor that: individualized, master’s-level outpatient care across a full continuum, deep conditions expertise including dual diagnosis, trauma, and process addictions, and the discretion and responsiveness that referral partners and families expect. Care is customized around the person, not a fixed program length, and your client never feels like a number.
Who We Partner With
Built for the professionals families trust
Referrals come to us from across the treatment ecosystem and beyond it. Whoever sends them, the standard is the same: a warm, fast, coordinated handoff.

The Experience
What your clients walk into
A boutique practice in the Houston Heights, not a census-driven facility: master’s-level clinicians with specialized training in CSAT, EMDR, CPT, Somatic Experiencing, and neurofeedback; integrated medication management; evening IOP and virtual options that protect careers and school; family programming with open family meetings; and real-world recovery mentoring through our sister practice, Heights Mentoring. ASAM-guided level-of-care matching keeps the recommendation honest, and we refer out when a client needs more than outpatient.
How It Works
The referral process, start to finish
We make referrals simple and the clinical relationship transparent. From first call to ongoing updates, here is exactly what working with us looks like.
01
Reach Out
Call or Send the Referral
Call (877) 549-5102 or use the confidential form below. Admissions responds promptly, walks through the situation, and answers clinical and financial questions up front.
02

Confidential ASAM-Guided Assessment
A licensed clinician completes a comprehensive assessment, often within days, and recommends the level of care that actually fits, from weekly therapy through IIP, PHP, IOP, and evening IOP.
03
Hand Off
Coordinated Clinical Transition
With the client’s consent, we coordinate directly with you and any prior treatment team: records, history, goals, and momentum carry forward so nothing is lost between programs.
04
Stay Connected
Updates Within Consent
We share appropriate progress updates, collaborate on the evolving plan, and coordinate step-down and discharge planning, keeping you as informed as consent and privacy law allow.
What We Offer
Where your clients land
Three destinations cover nearly every referral: a full outpatient continuum, deep specialty expertise, and the step-down and real-world support most programs never build.
The Continuum
Full Outpatient Levels of Care
Individualized Intensive Programming, PHP, IOP with mental health, substance use, and dual diagnosis tracks, evening IOP, and individual and group therapy, matched by ASAM criteria and adjusted as your client stabilizes.
The Expertise
Conditions Most Programs Miss
Dual diagnosis as the default, specialized trauma treatment, CSAT-led sex and love addiction care, and gambling and technology addiction treatment, the referrals that are hardest to place anywhere else in Houston.
The Step-Down
Continuing Care & Specialized Tracks
A premier residential step-down that preserves the individualized experience your clients had, plus dedicated executive and young adult tracks, with recovery mentoring and companioning woven into daily life.
Ready When You Are
Have a client in mind? Let's talk.
One call with admissions answers the clinical and financial questions, confirms fit honestly, and gets the assessment scheduled, often within days.
Our Approach
Collaboration, not endorsement trading
We collaborate with partners rather than trade endorsements, and we keep every plan centered on the individual. If a client needs a higher level of care than outpatient, we say so and help place them, and when a referring therapist wants their client back for ongoing work, we coordinate that return rather than absorbing the relationship. Honest fit is the whole practice: it is why partners refer once, see how it is handled, and keep referring.

Common Questions
For referral partners, answered
If you do not see your question here, call our admissions team at (877) 549-5102 and we will walk you through it.
How do I refer a client to Heights Behavioral Health?
Call (877) 549-5102 or use the confidential referral form on this page. We follow up promptly and, with the client’s consent, coordinate directly with you on the assessment and plan. Please do not include protected health information in the form itself.
How quickly can a referred client be seen?
Quickly. Admissions responds promptly to partner referrals, and a confidential ASAM-guided assessment can usually be scheduled within days, faster when a discharge date is approaching.
Do you provide continuing care after residential treatment?
Yes. Step-down care is one of our core strengths. We coordinate with the residential team before discharge, preserve the individualized experience the client had, and continue the work at home across our levels of care.
How do you keep referral partners informed?
Within the bounds of client consent and privacy law, we share appropriate updates, collaborate on the evolving plan, and coordinate step-down and discharge planning so you stay informed about your client’s progress.
If I am a therapist, will I lose my client?
No. When a referring therapist wants to continue as the ongoing provider, we treat the higher level of care as an episode and coordinate the client’s return to you, with a full clinical handoff. We collaborate; we do not absorb relationships.
Do you accept clients from outside Houston?
Yes. Clients regularly relocate temporarily for step-down care or travel in for our programs, and virtual options extend care beyond Houston where clinically appropriate. We help coordinate the practical side of a transition.
What clients are the right fit, and what do you refer out?
Adults with mental health, substance use, trauma, dual diagnosis, and process addiction concerns who are appropriate for outpatient levels of care. We do not provide medical detox, residential, or inpatient care; when that is what a client needs, we say so and help place them first.
Is care private pay or insurance based?
We are private pay and also work with out-of-network benefits, with detailed superbills provided. We are transparent about cost and coverage with you and the family before anyone commits to care.
