Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

The structure of inpatient — with the freedom to start re-engaging your life.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) provide nearly the same clinical intensity as residential care, while letting you sleep at home or in a sober living residence. PHP is often the most important — and most overlooked — phase of treatment.

The riskiest stretch of recovery is often the first weeks after residential. PHP keeps the structure tight while you practice freedom.

What PHP actually looks like

You arrive at our campus by 9am, spend the day in structured therapy and programming, and head home or to a sober living residence by mid-afternoon. The clinical day mirrors residential: morning movement, individual therapy, multiple group sessions, psychiatry, skills work and family time. By 3 or 4pm you are practicing the rest of your life — meals at home, sober support meetings, sleep in your own bed.

9am to 3pm, 5–6 days/week
30 hours of clinical contact weekly
Daily group + 2x weekly individual
Weekly psychiatry & medication management

Comfortable treatment facility environment

Sober living option

Many PHP patients live in one of our partnered sober living homes nearby. These are not halfway houses in the old sense — they are calm, well-run residences with house managers, sober peers, and curfew/accountability structure. Sober living lets out-of-state patients stay close to care and gives local patients a buffer between treatment and a home environment that may not yet be ready to support recovery.

Peer-supported, sober community

Who PHP is right for

PHP is the ideal level for patients stepping down from residential who still need substantial structure; patients with stable, sober home environments who do not require 24/7 monitoring; professionals needing the highest level of care compatible with limited work re-engagement; and parents who must remain available to children at night while still receiving intensive treatment.

Clinical content

PHP programming is built around the same evidence-based modalities used in residential — EMDR for trauma, DBT for emotional regulation, CBT for cognitive restructuring, IFS for the parts work that drives compulsion. Daily process groups, weekly family therapy and skills groups in mindfulness, communication, and relapse prevention round out the schedule.

Family work continues

PHP is when families often re-enter the picture in practical, daily ways. We hold weekly family therapy sessions, run a multi-family group, and offer educational programming on codependency, boundaries, communication and what 'support' actually looks like during early recovery. The goal: restore the relationships that addiction strained, with skills that last beyond treatment.

Step-down and aftercare

Most PHP patients spend 4 to 6 weeks at this level before stepping down to IOP. By then you have re-engaged with most of normal life — work, family, social commitments — while still receiving 9 to 15 hours of weekly clinical care. Our continuum keeps you in one trusted system from detox through alumni; you never repeat your story to a stranger.
