How We Treat It
Right-sized care, from a weekly session to a full-day program.
Addiction doesn't show up the same way twice. Our levels of care flex with what you need today and shift as life does.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
The most structured care we offer short of residential. Several hours a day, multiple days a week, for a turning point that needs real structure right now while life keeps going.
Learn about PHPIntensive Outpatient (IOP)
A step down from PHP, or a step up from weekly sessions. Several group and individual hours a week while you keep living at home, working, and showing up for your family.
Learn about IOPStandard Outpatient (SOP)
One session a week. The long, steady work that holds the gains and turns recovery from something you do into something you live.
Learn about SOPGroup Therapy
Recovery alongside people who get it. Honest, guided group work where you're not the only one in the room who has been where you are.

Licensed counselors, secure video, and the same care you'd get in our office. Available anywhere in Texas, and it pairs with every level above.

When someone you love won't get help on their own, a structured, compassionate intervention led by a Love First Interventionist can open the door.

From the People We've Walked With
Real words from real clients.
I walked in holding every bit of shame I could carry. I walked out lighter every time. They met me with compassion I didn't know I was allowed to have.
For the first time in a long, long time, what I was hearing made sense, and what I was trying to say finally felt understood.
Linda helped me see how generations of addiction had shaped me without me knowing it. I'm a stronger, happier person because of the work we did together.
When Nothing Else Has Worked
Feel powerless to help an addicted loved one? Intervention can open the door.
Promises broken. Conversations that end the same way. The slow, heavy knowledge that something is getting worse. If you've tried everything you can think of and nothing has stuck, professional intervention can bring the structure, language, and follow-through a family on its own rarely has.
- Guided preparation so the conversation never gets hijacked by old arguments
- A clear, agreed-upon next step with treatment already on standby
- Family support that continues long after the intervention day
Online Counseling
Counseling that fits the life you actually live.
Secure, private video sessions with the same licensed counselors you'd sit across from in Houston. Research shows it works just as well as in-person therapy, and you can do it between meetings, after bedtime, or from a car if that's the only quiet spot you have.
