Leadership & Team

The people behind Open Door Houston aren't just staff. Many of them are graduates of the very program they now serve.

Our Team

More than 60% of Our Team is Comprised of Our Doorway Graduates

That number isn't a talking point. It's proof that the program works. The men walking alongside clients today once sat in the same chairs, worked through the same struggles, and found a way forward. They bring something no credential can replace: they've been there. When a client says no one understands, someone on staff can say, honestly, I do.

Our Leadership & Team

Open Door Houston is led by people who take this work personally. Our team combines professional experience, clinical training, and in many cases, firsthand knowledge of what recovery really requires.
