Spring Counseling Center In Houston, Texas
Outpatient treatment, court-ordered programs, and counseling for adults in North Houston since our doors opened on Kuykendahl Road.
TDCJ-CJAD accredited BIPP
Certified instructors
Licensed counselors
English & Spanish
Most people who walk through our door did not plan to be here. A judge ordered a class. A probation officer handed over a list. A family finally said something. Whatever brought you, the work from that point forward is the same, and it starts with an honest conversation about where things actually stand.
Our Programs in Houston
Eight programs, all delivered at the Kuykendahl Road office. Court-ordered participants should bring their paperwork so we can confirm exactly which one satisfies the requirement.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Group sessions several days a week for people who need real structure but can stay at home, keep working, and keep parenting while they do it.
Supportive Outpatient Program (SOP)
A lighter weekly schedule. Often the step down after intensive treatment, sometimes the right starting point on its own.
Domestic Violence (BIPP)
The accredited Battering Intervention and Prevention Program. Weekly group work on power, control, accountability, and what to do instead.
Anger Management
Skills, not lectures. Spotting escalation early, cooling it down, and dealing with the fear or hurt that anger is usually covering.
DWI Education Program
The twelve-hour state course. Texas law and penalties, how alcohol actually affects driving, and an honest look at personal risk.
DWI Intervention Program
Longer and deeper than the education course, spread over weeks so there is time between sessions to notice your own patterns.
Drug Offender Education (TDOEP)
The fifteen-hour Texas Drug Offender Education Program, run monthly so probation deadlines do not slip while you wait for a seat.
Drug & Alcohol Assessments
A structured evaluation by a licensed professional, written so a court, attorney, or probation officer can actually use it.
Empowering Awareness: The Idea Behind Every Program
If I am not satisfied with my current life situation, I can make different choices. I am no longer bound by the restrictive “that’s just the way I am” life position. I am no longer a victim of the past or of others.
I am a person capable of making choices today that are consistent with attaining and maintaining those things that are important to me, in responsible ways, without hurting me or others. I am the only one standing in my way.
These programs are built on the premise that people control the choices they make and are directly responsible for the current state of their lives. That lands hard the first time. Most people come around to it, because the alternative is far bleaker.
Licensing & Accreditation You Can Verify
A certificate from an unaccredited program can be rejected by a judge, which means wasted months and wasted money. Check any provider before you enroll, including this one.
Licensed by the State of Texas for outpatient chemical dependency treatment, covering both SOP and IOP levels of care.
Accredited for the Battering Intervention and Prevention Program by TDCJ-CJAD, and listed on the accredited provider rosters used by Harris County courts.
Instructors are certified for the state education curricula. Counselors hold Texas professional licenses.
A service provider for Harris County, Montgomery County, and other surrounding counties. Confirm approval with your officer for your jurisdiction.
Levels of Care and Weekly Time Commitment
The main practical difference between our outpatient levels is how many hours a week you are in the building.
Typical ranges under standard Texas program structures. Your schedule is set after assessment.
Programs at a Glance
| Program | Length & Format | Usually Referred By |
|---|---|---|
| Intensive Outpatient | Groups across multiple days weekly | Assessment, court, or self |
| Supportive Outpatient | Lighter weekly schedule | Assessment or step-down |
| BIPP | Weekly group, 18 weeks minimum | Court or probation |
| Anger management | Weekly skills group | Court, employer, or self |
| DWI Education | 12 hours, twice monthly | Court, first offense |
| DWI Intervention | Extended, twice yearly | Court, repeat offense |
| TDOEP | 15 hours, monthly | Court or probation |
| Assessment | One appointment, written report | Court, attorney, or self |
What Happens When You Get Here
We confirm which program your paperwork actually requires and when the next group starts.
Bring ID, your court order, and payment information. A counselor takes a full history and recommends a level of care.
You are scheduled into the next available cohort. Class sizes are kept small on purpose.
Certificates are issued only when the program is genuinely finished to the accredited standard.
If you are not sure which program a judge ordered, bring the document rather than relying on memory. The gap between BIPP and anger management, or between DWI Education and DWI Intervention, is the gap between a satisfied condition and a violation.
Groups in English and Spanish
A court-ordered program delivered in a language you only half follow is not much of a program. Ask about Spanish scheduling when you call about a specific class.
Attending by Video When You Cannot Get Here
This center has run groups over video conference rather than suspending them, a practice that began during the coronavirus period when in-person groups were not safe but probation deadlines carried on regardless. Enrollment was capped tightly through that stretch to keep clients and counselors protected.
Houston traffic and shift work create the same barrier that a pandemic did. Whether remote attendance is available depends on the program, the referring court’s rules, and current scheduling, because not every accredited curriculum permits it.
Confidentiality and What Gets Reported to the Court
Substance use treatment records carry federal protections stricter than ordinary medical records. What you say in group is not casually shareable.
If you are here on a court order, you have most likely signed a release covering attendance and progress. That release is what makes the program count. Attendance, participation, payment status, and completion are reportable. The clinical content of what you disclose generally is not, subject to the standard legal exceptions that bind every counselor in Texas.
You should know exactly what will be reported, and to whom, before you sit down in your first group.
Where We Are and Who We Serve
The office sits on Kuykendahl Road in 77068, on the northern edge of Houston and within reach of the Beltway and I-45. That location keeps clients from crossing the whole metro for a weekly group.

What This Center Does Not Do
This is an outpatient center. It is not a residential facility, not a detox unit, and it does not provide medical care, prescribing, or round-the-clock supervision.
Outpatient is the wrong level of care when someone faces a medically dangerous withdrawal, particularly from alcohol or benzodiazepines, when a person is in acute psychiatric crisis, or when the home situation makes any stability impossible. Those situations call for a medical evaluation, a detox program, or a residential placement first. Outpatient works far better as the step that follows.
Anyone facing a medical or psychiatric emergency should seek emergency care immediately. We also make no promises about outcomes, and you should be wary of any provider that does.
Who We Work With
Judges and community supervision officers across the Houston area refer participants to our accredited and state-recognized programs. We handle the documentation that supervision requires.
Attorneys often want an assessment or an early enrollment on record before a case is resolved. We can produce an evaluation written for that purpose.
Some participants attend because a workplace policy or a professional requirement calls for it rather than a court.
No order, no charge, no paperwork. Plenty of people call because something at home has gone far enough that they want it addressed.
Common Questions
Is anger management the same as BIPP?
No. Texas courts treat them as separate programs, and completing the wrong one will not satisfy a family violence condition. Check your order or ask your attorney before you enroll.
How long does BIPP take?
A minimum of eighteen weeks of weekly group sessions under the accredited Texas curriculum. Some courts order longer. Attendance rules are strict because the state treats it as an accountability program first.
Which DWI class do I need?
The twelve-hour DWI Education Program generally applies to a first offense. DWI Intervention is the longer course for repeat offenders. Your history determines it, not how the case was resolved.
Do I have to be court-ordered to attend?
No. Assessments, outpatient treatment, and anger management are all open to people who come on their own. Court-ordered participants simply have extra paperwork attached.
What should I bring to the first appointment?
Photo identification, the court order or probation paperwork that specifies what is required, and payment information. Bring the actual document rather than a description of it.
Will my employer or family find out what I say in group?
Not from us. Treatment records carry federal confidentiality protections. If you signed a release for a court or probation officer, that release covers attendance and progress rather than the content of your disclosures.
How soon can I start?
It depends on the program. TDOEP runs monthly and DWI Education twice a month, so waits are usually short. DWI Intervention runs less often, which is worth knowing if a deadline is close.
Can my partner attend BIPP with me?
No. BIPP is not couples counseling and does not attempt to mediate a relationship. Partners do not attend together, and victim safety protocols are built into the accredited model.
