A strong day-to-day plan—without an overnight stay
If residential treatment feels too intensive and weekly therapy isn’t enough, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) can meet you in the middle: full-day treatment, home at night. You’ll get medical oversight, evidence-based therapy, and a compassionate team who understands recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Recovery doesn’t have to wait. Whether you’re looking for structure after detox, a safe transition from residential care, or a supportive place to begin again, our team is here to guide you.
Call (888) 482-0717 today to explore how our Partial Hospitalization Program can fit into your recovery journey. We’ll answer your questions, verify insurance, and help you map out the next steps—so you don’t have to do this alone.
What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A Partial Hospitalization Program is a high-intensity, day treatment model—typically 5–6 hours per day, 5 days per week—that provides medical monitoring, individual and group therapy, medication support, family involvement, and relapse-prevention planning. PHP offers the structure of hospital-level care while letting you sleep at home and practice new skills in your daily life.
Who PHP helps
- Adults needing more support than weekly/outpatient therapy
- People stepping down from residential/inpatient care
- People stepping up from intensive outpatient when symptoms or cravings increase
- Those with co-occurring mental health needs (anxiety, depression, trauma)
What a typical day can include
- Morning check-ins, safety and craving assessments
- Individual therapy (CBT, DBT-informed, MI)
- Process and skills groups (emotion regulation, distress tolerance, relapse prevention)
- Medication management & nursing support
- Family sessions and discharge planning
- Recovery routines: sleep, nutrition, movement, mindfulness
PHP vs. IOP vs. Residential—how to choose
- Residential (inpatient): 24/7 support, best for acute risk or instability
- PHP (day treatment): Hospital-level structure without overnight stay—ideal for stabilization with real-world practice
- IOP (3–4 hrs/day): Step-down support while returning to work/school

Why structure matters right now with PHP
Treatment gap: In 2023, only about 1 in 4 (23.6%) people who needed substance use treatment received it. PHP can bridge that gap by adding access and structure.

Co-occurring needs: More than 1 in 5 U.S. adults live with a mental illness in a given year, underscoring the importance of integrated care in PHP.

Overdose context: CDC provisional monitoring shows the U.S. experienced a historic decline in 2024 overdose deaths versus 2023—but the toll remains high, making timely treatment essential.

Functioning improves: Research on PHP models reports symptom reduction and improved functioning, supporting PHP as an effective step in the continuum (adult and youth programs; additional rigorous trials needed).
