Positive Recovery Centers - Houston Montrose

A Strengths-Based Approach to Recovery

At the heart of the center’s philosophy is a strengths-based model that shifts the focus from what’s wrong to what’s possible. Rather than centering treatment only on abstinence, the program integrates evidence-based therapies with positive psychology to help clients uncover purpose, meaning, and tools for resilience. This approach includes daily practices such as meditation, gratitude exercises, and creative expression. By emphasizing optimism and personal growth, clients learn to replace destructive behaviors with fulfilling ones, build confidence in their recovery, and reconnect with values that support long-term wellness.

Flexible Dual-Diagnosis Outpatient Care

The center offers multiple levels of outpatient care to meet different recovery needs. This includes dual-diagnosis care for clients with mental health concerns. The partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides the most intensive structure, with at least 20 hours per week of therapy, doctor visits, and group support. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) runs 9–12 hours per week, ideal for those returning to work, school, or family life. For clients stepping down, the supportive outpatient program (SOP) focuses on reinforcing coping skills and maintaining progress. In addition, virtual IOP and teletherapy options ensure access to care when attending in person isn’t possible.

Therapies and Holistic Supports

Treatment combines evidence-based therapies. Clients participate in individual counseling, group therapy, and weekly family sessions. The center also provides 12-step facilitation and encourages long-term attendance. To promote balance and stress management, the center offers yoga, mindfulness, and art and music therapy. This mix of approaches helps clients process difficult emotions, develop healthier coping skills, and strengthen connections with others.

Long-Term Options with Sober Living and Aftercare

For those seeking extended support, the center offers a 120-day long-term program that combines structured outpatient treatment, sober living, and one full year of aftercare. This program provides a safe environment to reinforce recovery skills over time. Aftercare includes weekly counselor-led groups, peer support, and activities that focus on relapse prevention, communication skills, and lifestyle balance. The extended timeline allows clients to gradually transition from intensive treatment to independent living, while still staying connected to a recovery community that encourages sustainable progress beyond the program itself.
