Virtual IOP for working adults in Texas

Check virtual IOP coverage by insurance

Carrier rules vary. Start with the page that matches your insurance, then verify benefits so we can confirm the real cost and authorization path.

You need addiction treatment, but you also need to protect your job and privacy.

Who this is built for

• Professionals who need confidential scheduling
• Employees comparing IOP, FMLA, and outpatient options
• People who need structure without a residential stay

What you get at Altura

Virtual IOP is a structured clinical program, not a check-in call. Adults attend small-group therapy by secure video, meet individually with a clinician, include family when appropriate, and receive step-up guidance if virtual care is not enough.

Altura is based in Bellaire, Houston, so virtual clients have a real clinical team and a physical program behind them. If the assessment shows that in-person PHP, in-person IOP, detox, or residential care is safer, we will recommend that instead of forcing virtual care.

How virtual IOP works at Altura

No clinical hoops. No long wait. Most people are in their first group within 5 days of the first call.

What's included in Altura's virtual IOP

This isn't a video stream of slides. Every session is small-group, clinician-led, and built specifically for working adults in recovery. You'll see the same clinicians week after week — not a rotating call center.

Each week you get

• 9 hours of group therapy — 3 sessions per week, 3 hours each. AM and PM tracks so you don't lose work.
• 1 hour of individual therapy with a licensed counselor
• Psychiatric care as needed — medication evaluation and management with our medical director
• Easy, efficient drug testing — kits sent to your door, completed with a clinical video proctor
• Family sessions — your spouse, partner, or parents can join from anywhere
• Aftercare planning — built into the last 2 weeks of the program

What makes Altura different

• Recovery is what we do — addiction treatment is our only focus, with a clinical team that lives it day in and day out
• A real facility to step up to — if you ever need PHP, in-person therapy, or sober living, our Bellaire office is right here
• In-network with Ambetter, BCBS, UHC, Cigna, and most PPOs — benefits are verified before you start, with $0 possible for some plans after deductible
• Family-owned, family-run — your admissions counselor is the same person who'll know your name in week 6
• Small, consistent clinical teams — you'll see the same faces every week, not a rotating bench

Virtual IOP is built for people who

• Have a job they can't walk away from for 30 hours a week
• Live more than 30 minutes from a quality in-person program
• Have already completed detox, residential, or PHP and need a step-down
• Are parents or caregivers who can't leave home for in-person treatment
• Tried in-person IOP before and it didn't stick — and want a clinically real alternative to apps and self-help
• Have Ambetter, BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, or another commercial plan and want to use their benefits before year-end

This is not the right fit if

• You're in active medical detox or need 24-hour supervision — we'll refer you to a partner detox first, then step you back to virtual IOP
• Your home isn't safe or sober enough to recover from — sober living through our partner program is usually the answer
• You need court-ordered, in-person UA chain-of-custody for a legal case — we can do in-person at Bellaire instead

If you're not sure where you fit, call us. The first conversation is free, confidential, and with a real clinician — not a sales rep.
