The Menninger Clinic

The Menninger Clinic is a nationally recognized psychiatric treatment center in Houston, Texas offering specialized care for adults, young adults and adolescents facing serious mental illness and addiction.

With a continuum that includes inpatient psychiatric care, comprehensive outpatient services and community reintegration programs, Menninger serves clients who need intensive, longer term treatment for conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, trauma and personality disorders, thought disorders and substance use disorders.

The clinic's approach is rooted in a biopsychosocial model designed to address the mind and body, relationships and spiritual life.

Available Treatment Programs

Treatment often begins with a comprehensive assessment at the Menninger Assessment Center, where clients receive a definitive diagnosis and personalized treatment plan. From there, many transition into inpatient psychiatric care, where stays range anywhere from 40 days to 12 weeks, allowing time to build a therapeutic alliance, stabilize symptoms and practice new coping skills in a structured environment.

Clients work with an interdisciplinary team including psychiatrists and psychologists, social workers and counselors, nurses and addiction or eating disorder specialists as needed. Treatment incorporates individual and group therapy, medication management, psychological testing and recovery support groups such as 12 step, SMART Recovery and Refuge Recovery.

For those stepping down from inpatient care, outpatient services and specialized programs like Pathfinder, Menninger 360 and The Gathering Place clubhouse provide ongoing support and community integration.
