Trying to overcome addiction while managing daily life can feel overwhelming — especially when support is inconsistent or not enough.
Even when you’re ready to get better, it’s hard to stay on track alone.
That’s why we created Altura Recovery’s Adult Substance Use IOP — a structured, supportive, and empowering program for adults who want to get clean, stay clean, and rebuild their lives without checking into a 30-day rehab.
You don’t have to guess if Intensive Outpatient Programs work — the research is clear. IOPs are proven to help people recover from substance use and alcohol addiction, especially when combined with community support and daily structure.
According to the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, IOPs are just as effective as inpatient rehab for many individuals — with the added benefit of allowing you to live at home, maintain work or school, and apply what you learn in real life.
Improve long-term sobriety outcomes
Lower relapse and dropout rates
Reduce risk of hospitalization
Help clients build real-world coping strategies
In short: structure, accountability, and connection — that’s what makes IOPs work. And it’s exactly what we offer here in Bellaire, TX.

Recovery isn’t just about stopping use — it’s about learning to live life without needing to escape it.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) gives you real structure, real support, and real tools to help you stay clean for the long haul. You’ll meet multiple times per week in a safe, judgment-free space where growth, accountability, and honesty come first.
Here’s what you’ll build:
✔️ Trigger + Craving Management
✔️ Relapse Prevention Skills
✔️ Emotional Awareness + Regulation
✔️ Daily Structure + Momentum
✔️ Supportive Accountability
Whether you’re newly sober or restarting after a setback, IOP gives you a foundation to stay on track — and start rebuilding a life that actually works.
You don’t have to do this alone. In our Bellaire-based IOP groups, you’ll be surrounded by others in recovery who get it — people who’ve struggled too, and are serious about staying clean.
This is more than check-ins or surface-level support. It’s real community — rooted in trust, honesty, and accountability — built for adults recovering from substance use right here in Houston.

Individual therapy is powerful — but sometimes, it’s not enough on its own. That’s where IOP comes in.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program gives you more structure, more connection, and more momentum, so you can put what you’re learning into action, day after day.
3 to 5 sessions per week to stay engaged and supported

Real accountability in a safe, judgment-free setting
Built for adults in Bellaire, West University, and Greater Houston seeking meaningful change
Many of our clients continue individual therapy while in IOP — and the two work together to create deeper, more lasting results.
For some, recovery is easier with a safe and supportive living environment — especially in early sobriety.
That’s why we work closely with Aspire Recovery Homes, a local sober living option designed to complement our IOP program.
Clean, affordable housing just minutes from our Bellaire office
Weekly peer check-ins and recovery support built into daily life
Structure and accountability without the feel of a facility
Ideal for adults transitioning out of detox or residential treatment / inpatient care
Whether you’re local to Houston or coming here for a fresh start, pairing Aspire sober living with Altura’s IOP gives you a powerful foundation for long-term sobriety.
An IOP is a structured treatment program that provides therapy and recovery support several days per week — typically 3 to 5 sessions. It’s ideal for people who need more than once-a-week therapy but don’t require inpatient rehab. You live at home or sober living and attend sessions during the day or evening.
IOP is a strong fit if you’re struggling with alcohol or drug use, feel stuck in your current recovery efforts, or recently completed detox or residential treatment. It’s also a powerful next step if you’ve relapsed and want to reset in a safe, supportive environment.
