We Put Participants First, No Matter What
Nearly half of Americans have family members or friends with substance abuse issues. However, only a fraction of those who suffer ever get the help they need.
Substance abuse affects more than just one person, and it impacts friendships, familial bonds, the relationship with oneself, and so much more. We provide a safe place for participants to turn to when it’s time to move on from substance abuse.
We’re a powerful network of open hearts and ears. We listen to the voices of those who need aid and connect with those around them, providing extra support along the way.
Our Story
Formerly known as Unlimited Visions Aftercare, Inc. (UVA), Marilyn Jones founded Unlimited Visions Behavioral Health Institute (UVBHI) in Houston, Texas, in 1996 with $200, a vision, and the support of her father Lonnie Jones. UVBHI started as an outpatient adult substance abuse treatment program in Houston. However, it quickly expanded to the Baytown and Pasadena areas of Texas.
After many years of success, added funding, accreditations, certifications, licensing, and community support, UVBHI has grown to be an asset for those who struggle with substance abuse. Furthermore, UVBHI has become a community for participants and their loved ones to learn, gain a deeper understanding, and cultivate their relationships with one another moving forward.
Today, UVBHI is a thriving network of substance abuse and mental health treatments for teens and adults. Together, we help others make meaningful decisions moving forward and reclaim their recovery.
