Bluff & Bridge RecoveryIntensive Outpatient Program in Fort Hood
Fort Hood is home to one of the largest active duty military populations in the United States, and the pressures of training, deployment, and military family life can increase the risk of substance misuse. Our IOP is tailored for soldiers, veterans, and their families living on or near the post. We meet you where you are—literally and figuratively—offering therapy sessions at a facility minutes from the main gate, with hours that align with a soldier’s demanding schedule.
We prioritize confidentiality and career protection. Your participation in our program is kept private from your chain of command unless you choose to involve them for support. We also assist with referrals to on-base medical services and TRICARE benefits. Whether you’re stationed at Fort Hood or live in Killeen, Copperas Cove, or Harker Heights, our IOP gives you the tools to recover without leaving the life you serve to protect.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Fort Hood, TX is designed specifically for active duty military, veterans, and their families who need structured addiction treatment without sacrificing their daily responsibilities. We understand the unique pressures of military life, from deployment cycles to the demands of base duty, and our program fits around your schedule.
Located just minutes from Fort Hood, our IOP provides three to five hours of therapy per day, three to five days a week, allowing you to return to your family or barracks each evening. You’ll receive evidence-based care for substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, and trauma—all while staying connected to your unit and community.
