Individual care room at Altura Recovery Houston for alcohol use disorder treatment

Alcohol Rehab in Houston

Alcohol use disorder is the most common reason people walk through our doors in Bellaire. Outpatient alcohol treatment at Altura Recovery means PHP or IOP clinical care paired with optional structured sober housing through a sober living partner — without taking you out of your job, your family, or your life longer than you need.

Short answer: how does outpatient rehab fit?

Altura Recovery provides outpatient addiction treatment in Houston after detox when needed, or directly when medical detox is not required. Most clients begin with PHP or IOP, then step down as stability, cravings, and support improve.

Where outpatient fits

If you're in withdrawal, you need medical detox first. We coordinate warm handoffs with Houston-area detox facilities — call us and we'll get you placed today.

From there, the typical path at Altura Recovery is Partial Hospitalization (PHP) for the first three to four weeks, then step-down to Intensive Outpatient (IOP) for two to three months. Clients who need housing structure live at one of our sober living partners throughout PHP and IOP.

What treatment specifically covers

Medication-assisted treatment

Naltrexone (oral and Vivitrol injection), acamprosate, and disulfiram prescribed and managed by our medical team when clinically appropriate.

Family and partner work

Alcohol use disorder rarely affects only the person drinking. We offer family sessions, partner education, and referrals to Al-Anon throughout treatment.

Dual diagnosis

Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma drive most heavy drinking. Our psychiatric team treats both at the same time.

Relapse prevention specific to alcohol

Bars, weddings, work events, holidays — we build a written plan for the situations that triggered drinking before.

Structured accountability through sober living

For clients who need housing alongside clinical care, Altura Recovery coordinates with established sober living programs across the Houston metro. We don't operate housing ourselves — we maintain working relationships with separately operated houses so clients have a stable place to live while they attend PHP or IOP.

For families comparing gender-specific sober living options, we often point them to Aspire Recovery Homes' Houston resources for sober living for women in Houston and sober living for men in Houston, while also helping them evaluate other separately operated homes when those are a better fit.

What "structured accountability" means in a sober house

  • House manager on site or on call, peer-led check-ins, curfews
  • Random drug and alcohol screens
  • Required attendance at clinical sessions
  • Weekly recovery meetings and step work
  • Job, school, or volunteer expectations after stabilization

How it works with Altura Recovery clinical care

  • Admissions team helps you find a sober house that fits
  • Transportation coordinated between house and Altura when needed
  • Clinical team communicates with house staff to support your plan
  • Step-down planning starts on day one
  • Continued sober living after PHP and IOP if needed

Sober living programs are operated separately from Altura Recovery. Housing fees are billed independently and are not part of clinical billing.

Frequently asked questions

Does Altura Recovery provide alcohol detox?

Altura Recovery is an outpatient program and does not provide on-site medical detox. If detox is clinically needed first for alcohol, we help coordinate it with a trusted partner and provide PHP, IOP, or Structured Outpatient care as the step-down afterward.

What does alcohol treatment at Altura involve?

Outpatient care at our Bellaire clinic — Partial Hospitalization (PHP), Intensive Outpatient (IOP), and Structured Outpatient (SOP) — combining individual therapy, group work, and dual-diagnosis support for any co-occurring mental health condition.

Is my insurance accepted?

Altura Recovery is in-network with Ambetter from Superior HealthPlan, Cigna, Curative, UnitedHealthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Most PPO plans cover outpatient addiction treatment when medical necessity is documented. We verify your benefits free before you start.

Can I keep working during treatment?

Many clients keep working. IOP runs about three sessions a week with morning and evening tracks, and Virtual IOP across Texas removes the commute when in-person scheduling is hard.

Is treatment confidential?

Yes. Care is confidential and protected by federal privacy rules including 42 CFR Part 2. We do not contact employers, family, or outside providers without a signed release unless an immediate safety issue requires it by law.

Recovery starts with a phone call — or a text.
