Joint Commission Accredited
Serving Montrose & Inner Loop Houston
Montrose has been one of Houston's most distinctive neighborhoods for decades. The historic center of Houston's LGBTQ+ community, the home of the Menil Collection, the Rothko Chapel, and Buffalo Bayou Park, and one of the few truly walkable parts of the city. Bars and restaurants every block, gallery openings on Saturdays, and a creative class that has lived here since the late 1970s.
All of that beauty also means substance use lives close to the surface. The young creative working a service-industry shift while building a portfolio. The hospitality professional whose drinking is the workplace currency. The LGBTQ+ client carrying years of layered trauma. The downtown attorney or oil-and-gas executive who chose Montrose for the walkability and now finds themselves struggling. People come to Montrose for the freedom, and recovery work has to honor that without judgment.
Our office at 902 West Alabama Street is also our corporate headquarters and the home of our 120-day Long-Term Treatment program for self-paying clients. Confidential intake, day and evening IOP, and a clinical team that handles the full spectrum of inner-Loop life.

Our Programs in Montrose
Recovery is not one program, it is a sequence. Our care moves from Foundational Care through a Bridge of Care to Transformational Care, with the right level of structure at each step. Step into the program that meets you where you are.
Build the foundation to create lasting transformation.Sobriety is the start. Flourishing is the goal.
PHP is the most intensive form of outpatient treatment at our Montrose office. Clients attend 5 days per week for several hours per day in a structured environment. PHP includes individual counseling, group therapy led by master's-level clinicians, psychiatric care and medication management, skill-building workshops, and the Positive Recovery curriculum developed by Dr. Jason Powers.
Our IOP in Montrose is designed for clients ready to return to work, school, or family while continuing intensive treatment. We offer both day and evening sessions. IOP meets 3-5 times per week and includes group therapy, weekly one-on-one counseling, family therapy, psychiatric check-ins, and the Positive Recovery curriculum that focuses on building strengths.
SOP at Montrose is the step-down after PHP or IOP: weekly group, continued individual counseling, and a familiar building on West Alabama to keep coming back to while independence builds.
Montrose aftercare plugs you into our most established alumni community, plus the one-year aftercare that comes built into the 120-day program based here. Check-ins, events, and volunteer roles keep graduates close.
Online IOP runs the same sessions over a secure platform. Hospitality workers with mid-shift conflicts and clients without reliable transportation use it to keep momentum without missing weeks.
Our family program welcomes partners, chosen family, parents, and siblings, with your consent deciding who participates. In Montrose that flexibility matters; support systems here do not always follow a traditional shape.
What We Treat
Montrose gives us Houston's most walkable drinking culture, a hospitality workforce that clocks out at 2am, and a nightlife scene where cocaine still circulates. It is also the historic heart of Houston's LGBTQ+ community, and our team treats substance use with the cultural awareness that history deserves.
Detox, when needed, runs through our Garden Oaks campus a few miles north, and the 120-day Long-Term Treatment program is based right here on West Alabama. Explore any substance below:
Life in Recovery
Recovery is more than walking away from substances. It is about flourishing, reconnecting with what matters most, and creating a life filled with meaning. Here are just a few ways to embrace a healthy, purposeful lifestyle in Montrose:
Common Questions
No. This office follows 42 CFR Part 2, the federal confidentiality standard for substance use treatment that exceeds HIPAA. We do not call employers, and for hospitality and service-industry clients without a formal HR department, nothing about your treatment travels anywhere without your written consent.
Yes. Montrose has been the historic center of Houston's LGBTQ+ community since the 1970s, and our team provides affirming, culturally aware care for LGBTQ+ clients. That includes attention to layered trauma, family-of-origin dynamics, and the intersection of substance use with identity and community.
Yes. Our Montrose location is the only outpatient office offering the 120-day Long-Term Treatment program for self-paying clients at $10,000. This includes PHP, IOP, sober living, and one year of aftercare.
Yes. Our IOP runs both day and evening programs, Monday through Thursday until 9pm. Many of our Montrose clients work in hospitality, the arts, downtown professional firms, the Texas Medical Center, or the inner-Loop service economy, and they attend evening IOP three to five nights per week. PHP requires more hours and is typically not workable alongside full-time employment without leave.
