Luxury Environment with Full Continuum of Care

Virtue Recovery Center – Houston is located in southwest Houston, offering a peaceful, spa-like environment close to city medical resources. The facility provides multiple levels of care, including medical detox, residential treatment, day treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Each client begins with a thorough assessment to create a tailored plan that addresses their unique needs, from substance use and mental health, to eating disorders.

Integrated Medical and Evidence-Based Therapies

The center combines MAT with proven therapeutic approaches. Clients may participate in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention groups. For individuals with trauma or treatment-resistant depression, specialized therapies like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) offer additional support.

Holistic Wellness and Restorative Amenities

In addition to clinical treatment, Virtue Recovery emphasizes wellness practices that support long-term healing. Clients have access to yoga, meditation, massage, acupuncture, and art therapy, along with nutrition counseling to improve health and balance. These holistic services reduce stress, strengthen the mind-body connection, and encourage lasting self-care routines after treatment.

Specialized Eating Disorder Programming

The Houston location provides specialized treatment for eating disorders, offering 24/7 care and individualized programming. Clients learn strategies to stabilize eating behaviors, reduce distress around food, and build a healthier relationship with their bodies. By focusing on practical skills and independence, the program prepares clients to maintain stability and continue progress once they return home.

Trauma-Informed and Family-Centered Approach

Virtue Recovery integrates trauma-informed practices across all programs, with dedicated tracks for veterans, first responders, and others coping with trauma. Family therapy is also a central part of care, helping loved ones better understand recovery and strengthen supportive relationships. To sustain long-term stability, aftercare planning, peer support, and vocational counseling are built into the treatment process, equipping clients with resources and confidence for life beyond treatment.
