Individualized Intensive Programming in Houston

The Individualized Intensive Program (IIP) is a comprehensive 90 day treatment plan designed for individuals who need a structured clinical environment while maintaining flexibility as they progress through recovery. The program includes group therapy, individual therapy, family involvement, psychiatric care, and optional trauma focused modalities such as EMDR and Somatic Experiencing.

Our IIP provides the structure of higher levels of care while adapting to each client’s unique goals, challenges, and personalized treatment needs.

IIP is designed around a multi level approach that adjusts as the client gains stability and confidence in their recovery. Treatment begins with a detailed pre assessment to determine clinical needs and create a customized therapeutic plan.

Clients typically begin in our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), transition into the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Houston, and then move into Outpatient treatment for continued support. This stepped structure ensures that each client receives the right level of care at the right time while maintaining continuity with the same clinical team.

The levels of care included in IIP, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient, have all been demonstrated to reduce substance use and improve quality of life. Throughout the program, clients will have evidence-based treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and EMDR, as well as empirically based group therapy like Equine Therapy, Trauma-Informed Yoga, The Daring Way, and more.

The Heights IIP program is ideal for anyone transitioning from a higher level of treatment or an inpatient program. Our IIP program offers a multidisciplinary approach to client care in concentrated doses while still giving the schedule flexibility to maintain home, work, or school obligations.

The ASAM Criteria is the most widely used and comprehensive set of guidelines for placement, continued stay, transfer, or discharge of patients with addiction and co-occurring conditions.

Using the ASAM Criteria in conjunction with our The Heights Treatment clinical staff’s professional judgment enables us to provide outcome-oriented, results-based care in our addiction treatment.

ASAM outlines various levels of care based on the outcome of the 6 ASAM dimensions assessment. These levels of care are on a scale ranging from 0.5 to 4, with 4 being the most intensive.

At The Heights Treatment, when the client has completed the goals on their IIP treatment plan and/or has stabilized in recovery to such an extent that they can complete the treatment process at a less restrictive level of care, such as our Outpatient Program, the client will transition to a lower LOC.

At The Heights Treatment, we strongly believe that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to treatment for mental health issues, substance use disorders, or co-occurring diagnoses. 

Every client who undergoes treatment at The Heights Treatment first completes a pre-assessment. Based on this assessment, the Clinical Director and Treatment Team determine the appropriate Level of Care for the client. 

Once the appropriate level of care is determined, the care each client receives is individualized based on:

• The results of the client’s multidimensional biopsychosocial assessment based on ASAM Criteria
• The client’s perceived needs
• The determination of the multidisciplinary treatment team

When the client has completed the goals on their treatment plan and/or has stabilized in recovery to such an extent that they can complete the treatment process at a less restrictive level of care, the client will transition to a lower LOC.
