Virtue Recovery in Houston, Texas, provides customized detox, residential, day treatment (partial hospitalization), and outpatient programs that begin with a professional evaluation to create tailored treatment plans. They treat drug and alcohol addiction, co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety and depression, and eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating. Virtue Recovery strives to create a nurturing, supportive environment where clients can fully immerse themselves in therapy to bolster lasting recovery. In their medical detox program, Virtue Recovery’s healthcare professionals evaluate clients’ medical history, substance use history, and current health status to create a personalized detox plan tailored to specific needs. Throughout the detox process, medical staff will closely monitor vital signs and overall health. Medication-assisted treatment is available as needed. Clients can engage in individual and group therapy as well as psychoeducation. Virtue Recovery provides nutritious meals to fuel the body and massage and acupuncture for comfort. Clients’ case managers guide them every step of the way to help them transition to their residential or outpatient programs. Virtue Recovery offers multiple levels of care to meet clients where they are, including intensive inpatient, residential, day treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. They can treat co-occurring personality disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental health concerns.

They offer eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for clients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for clients with treatment-resistant depression. Virtue Recovery provides a robust family program for loved ones to heal and grow together. Tailored to families’ specific needs, the family therapist may use systemic family therapy, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), multidimensional family therapy (MDFT), and more.
