Why Heights
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
Referrals come to us from across the treatment world and beyond it. Whoever sends them, the standard is the same: a warm, fast, coordinated handoff and communication within the consent your client provides.
Clinicians
When a client needs more than weekly sessions, we add structure for a season and coordinate their return to you for ongoing work, rather than absorbing the relationship.
Interventionists
An assessment often within days, a clear recommendation, and a coordinated start so momentum from the intervention is not lost.
Treatment Programs
Step-down into IIP, PHP, or IOP with records, goals, and the discharge plan carried forward, and updates to your team within consent.
Consultants
Individualized outpatient care for young adults that supports school, work, and independence, with family programming built in.
Physicians and Family Offices
Discreet, private-pay care with flexible scheduling for executives and high-profile clients who need confidentiality at every step.
Employers
Evening IOP and work-compatible schedules, plus clear documentation with the client’s authorization, so treatment and work can coexist.
How It Works
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 (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
Assess
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
Our Approach
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
We are private pay and do not bill insurance directly. Families receive detailed superbills to submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and we are transparent about cost with you and the family before anyone commits to care.
