Partial hospitalization programs are a level of outpatient treatment designed for individuals facing addiction challenges but do need 24/7 medical supervision. Often referred to as a day treatment program, PHP is ideal for those who require a higher level of care than standard outpatient programs can provide. In a PHP, clients receive comprehensive, personalized treatment and medical monitoring during the day but return home or to their sober living environment in the evening.

PHP offers a range of outpatient addiction treatment services, including individual and group therapy, access to medical care, alcohol and drug counseling, and medication if necessary. If immediate medical attention is required, we collaborate closely with local hospital centers to ensure an individual receives the necessary support.[1]

At the PHP level of care, clients attend treatment 5 days a week, dedicating approximately 6 hours each day while still residing in a supportive sober living environment. Compared to standard outpatient programs that may meet only once or three times a week, a PHP provides a more comprehensive level of support at a minimum of 20 treatment hours per week.[2]

Entering a PHP can be the next step after completing an inpatient detox or residential program. It is particularly beneficial for individuals committed to spending the time needed to focus on intensive therapy and resolving their core issues.
