IOP + Housing

IOP with housing in Houston — work, treat, and recover.

Attend a Houston-area Intensive Outpatient Program around your work or school schedule, and come home to a structured sober living residence at Aspire. Real life, real treatment, real support.

IOP with housing in Houston — outpatient treatment + structured sober living

If you're ready to work or go to school but need both clinical treatment and a safe place to live, IOP with housing is the answer. Attend an Intensive Outpatient Program in the Houston area on your schedule — mornings, evenings, or weekends — and come home to Aspire's structured sober living the rest of the time.

How IOP with housing works at Aspire

  • Work or school during the day. Many residents have full-time jobs or are returning to school. IOP fits around your schedule.
  • Attend IOP on your schedule. 9–12 hours of clinical programming per week — typically three sessions of 3–4 hours each — with one of our partner Houston IOP providers (or any reputable program you choose).
  • Live at Aspire. Structured sober living — evening meetings, peer accountability, curfew, random drug testing, house manager on-site.
  • Coordination with your IOP team. We work alongside your IOP clinicians so your housing and treatment reinforce each other.

Why IOP with sober living works

IOP is designed for people who can manage outpatient life. But many clients can't go back to a safe environment when IOP isn't in session. Pairing IOP with structured sober housing solves that — you get the clinical work plus the environmental support to actually apply what you learn.

Frequently asked questions

What is IOP with housing?

IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) is typically 9–12 hours of clinical addiction treatment per week, designed to allow clients to work or go to school. IOP with housing means you attend IOP clinical sessions while living in a structured sober living residence.

Why combine IOP with sober living?

IOP gives you the clinical work — group therapy, individual counseling, education. Sober living gives you the environment — accountability, peers, structure, drug testing — that makes IOP actually work. Without structured housing, many IOP clients return to environments where the new skills can't take root.

Can I work full-time while in IOP with housing?

Yes. IOP is specifically designed to fit around work or school. Most Aspire residents in IOP work full-time during the day and attend IOP in the evenings, or work part-time and attend morning IOP sessions.

Which Houston IOP programs do you work with?

We work with every reputable IOP in the Houston area, including Altura Recovery & Wellness. If you need help finding the right IOP, we can introduce you to multiple options.

Does insurance cover IOP with sober living?

Insurance typically covers IOP clinical treatment. Sober living rent is usually self-pay. The combined cost is dramatically lower than residential treatment with comparable outcomes for many clients.
