What families ask us most

Failure to launch describes a pattern in which a capable young adult struggles to move into the typical milestones of independent adulthood — steady school or work, social connection, and self-management — often alongside anxiety, depression, or avoidance. It isn't a formal diagnosis, but it's a recognizable pattern that responds well to structured support.

An IOP is a level of mental-health care more structured than weekly therapy, but flexible enough that participants continue living at home. At Launch, that means at least ten hours of treatment per week across several days, blending group, individual, and family work.

Young adults — typically ages 18–30 — who feel stuck: disengaged from school or work, avoiding responsibilities or social situations, and relying heavily on family for structure. Families and referring clinicians often reach out when traditional weekly therapy hasn't created enough momentum.

Most participants attend 3–5 days per week, 3–4 hours per day, for 8–12 weeks, progressing through three phases: Lift-Off, Ascent, and Orbit.

The program is $1,500 per week, which includes at least ten hours of treatment. Optional services cost extra. Launch does not bill insurance directly, but we provide itemized invoices (superbills) you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

Launch IOP is in Houston, TX, at 4646 Wild Indigo Street, Suite 150 (77027), on the first floor of the Amtex Insurance building. We share offices with Houston Therapy.
