After Detox · Houston
Medical detox stabilizes your body. What you do in the next 30, 60, 90 days decides whether sobriety holds. Altura Recovery in Bellaire is built for the step right after detox — Partial Hospitalization or Intensive Outpatient with optional structured housing through a sober living partner.
After detox, most people need ongoing treatment immediately. Altura Recovery provides PHP or IOP in Houston after medical stabilization and can coordinate sober living when home is not stable enough for early recovery.
Detox removes the substance. It does not treat the brain chemistry, the trauma, the relationships, the housing, the legal, or the financial situation that drove the use. Most relapse happens in the first 90 days after detox — and most of that in the first 30. The right next step lowers that risk dramatically.
The next step is almost always one of three things:
Residential treatment can cost $30,000 to $80,000 per month and many commercial plans no longer authorize long residential stays after detox. PHP with structured sober living through one of our partners gives you the same daily structure — 20 to 30 clinical hours per week plus a sober house with a manager, curfews, drug screens, and peer accountability — at a fraction of the cost. Many clients step directly from detox into our PHP and live in a sober living house for the first 30 to 90 days.
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.
Sober living programs are operated separately from Altura Recovery. Housing fees are billed independently and are not part of clinical billing.
Call us directly. We accept self-referrals and referrals from any Houston-area detox center. We coordinate with detox social workers, family members, EAPs, and probation or court contacts. Most clients start at Altura within 24 to 72 hours of detox discharge.

Detox handles the physical withdrawal but not the underlying patterns. Altura provides the next step — PHP, IOP, or Structured Outpatient in Bellaire — with sober housing coordinated through partners if needed.
Most clinically appropriate clients can verify insurance, complete an assessment, and start within one to three business days of finishing detox.
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.
