Joint Commission Accredited
Serving Sugar Land & Fort Bend County
Sugar Land sits in one of the most ethnically and economically diverse counties in the United States. Strong South Asian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Nigerian, and Hispanic communities live alongside longtime Texas families. The median household income runs well above state and national averages, and Fort Bend ISD is one of the most academically competitive districts in the state.
All of that creates pressure. Pressure to keep up the family image, pressure to perform at school, pressure to climb in your industry, pressure to honor cultural expectations around what success and struggle look like. Substance use issues often hide for a long time underneath that pressure before anyone names them out loud.
Our office on Southwestern Boulevard, just off the Southwest Freeway and Highway 90A, is built for that reality. Confidential intake. Evening sessions for medical professionals commuting in from the Texas Medical Center. A team that handles every conversation with cultural respect.
Your Outpatient Manager
Kevin is the Program Coordinator and primary counselor at our Sugar Land office, and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor who has been working in the treatment field since 2006. Across that time he has held a range of roles, with the last several years focused on direct counseling and on training and supervising other counselors.
Earlier in his career, Kevin served as Executive Director at our Garden Oaks residential facility in Houston. His clinical experience spans family intervention work, relapse prevention education, and 12-Step programming, all of which inform the way he leads the Sugar Land team today.

Our Programs in Sugar Land
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 Sugar Land 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 Sugar Land 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 is the low-intensity bridge after PHP or IOP: weekly group sessions, ongoing counseling, and a discreet standing appointment that fits a Sugar Land professional's calendar.
Sugar Land aftercare is built around discreet continuity: scheduled check-ins, counseling access, and alumni events for graduates who want community without broadcasting their history.
Online IOP mirrors the in-person program over an encrypted platform. Sugar Land professionals often use it on Medical Center workdays, then attend in person when the calendar allows.
With your consent, spouses, parents, and siblings participate through family workshops and counseling. Sugar Land families often carry the habit of protecting privacy at all costs; we help them trade secrecy for actual support.
What We Treat
Sugar Land's substance use is quiet and high-functioning: the physician or engineer who drinks alone every night, the long-commute professional using pills to sleep and stimulants to wake, families keeping it all private. We respect the privacy, and we take seriously what hides behind it.
If a substance requires medically supervised withdrawal, we coordinate detox at Garden Oaks and bring you back to Southwestern Boulevard for outpatient treatment. Read about each substance:
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 Sugar Land:
Common Questions
No. Records from this office are protected under 42 CFR Part 2, the federal confidentiality rule for substance use treatment, which is tighter than HIPAA. Many Sugar Land clients are physicians, engineers, and licensed professionals with real exposure; we never contact an employer, and every released document requires your signature.
Yes. Our IOP runs both day and evening programs, Monday through Thursday until 9pm. Many of our Sugar Land clients work full-time at the Texas Medical Center, Schlumberger, Memorial Hermann, and other Houston-area employers and attend evening IOP three to five nights per week. PHP requires more hours and is typically not workable alongside full-time employment without leave.
Yes. Fort Bend County is one of the most ethnically diverse counties in the country, and our team is trained to handle conversations about substance use with cultural and family respect. We work with clients across South Asian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Nigerian, Hispanic, and longtime Texas backgrounds, with the discretion that family and community context often requires.
