A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured, intensive addiction treatment program that provides comprehensive care without requiring an overnight stay. PHP serves as a middle ground between inpatient rehab and outpatient care, offering a high level of support while allowing patients to return home in the evenings.
At Recovery NOW, our PHP program is designed for individuals who need significant medical supervision and therapeutic support but do not require 24/7 hospitalization. Our approach combines evidence-based therapies, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and personalized recovery plans to help individuals regain control of their lives.
Who Can Benefit from a PHP Program?
PHP is ideal for individuals who:
- Have recently completed inpatient rehab and need continued structure.
- Require medical monitoring but are stable enough to live at home.
- Need an intensive treatment schedule without full hospitalization.
- Struggle with relapse and require a higher level of support than standard outpatient programs.
At Recovery NOW, we assess each patient individually to determine if PHP is the right fit. Our goal is to provide the level of care necessary for sustained recovery while helping individuals transition into everyday life.
Key Components of Our PHP Program
Our PHP at Recovery NOW offers a well-rounded approach to addiction recovery, incorporating:
1. Medical Supervision and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
We provide supervised medical care to manage withdrawal symptoms and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options like Suboxone to ease cravings and reduce relapse risks. Our board-certified addiction specialists oversee each patient’s medical needs to ensure a safe recovery journey.
2. Individual and Group Therapy
Therapy is the core of PHP, helping individuals understand the root causes of addiction and develop coping strategies. Our program includes:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and changing negative thought patterns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Enhancing emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
- Group Therapy: Encouraging peer support and shared recovery experiences.
- Family Therapy: Addressing family dynamics and rebuilding relationships.
3. Life Skills and Relapse Prevention
We teach practical life skills to help patients transition back into daily routines. Topics include stress management, employment readiness, financial planning, and healthy coping mechanisms to maintain sobriety.
4. Holistic Therapies and Wellness Activities
Incorporating holistic approaches helps address addiction from a mind-body perspective. We offer:
- Yoga and meditation for stress reduction.
- Nutritional counseling to support physical recovery.
- Exercise programs to improve mental and physical well-being.
- Art and music therapy as creative outlets for self-expression.
- Mindfulness practices to enhance emotional awareness and resilience.
PHP vs. Other Levels of Care
Understanding how PHP compares to other treatment options can help determine the best fit:
| Treatment Level | Supervision | Duration | Best For |
| Inpatient Rehab | 24/7 | 30+ days | Severe addiction, medical instability |
| PHP (Partial Hospitalization) | Daytime care | 4-6 weeks | Need structure, but stable at home |
| Intensive Outpatient (IOP) | Several hours/day | 8-12 weeks | Transitioning to everyday life |
| Outpatient Therapy | Weekly sessions | Ongoing | Mild addiction, maintenance care |
A Day in the Life of a PHP Patient
A typical day in our PHP program follows a structured routine, ensuring consistency and accountability:
- 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM: Arrival, check-in, and medical evaluation.
- 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Group therapy, relapse prevention, and skill-building sessions.
- 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Lunch break and wellness activities.
- 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM: Individual counseling and family therapy.
- 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Holistic activities like meditation, art therapy, or fitness sessions.
- 4:00 PM: End of the day, return home.
The Importance of Structure in PHP
One of the biggest advantages of PHP is its structured approach to recovery. By providing a daily schedule that includes therapy, medical care, and skill-building activities, patients develop healthy routines that promote long-term sobriety. This structure helps individuals stay engaged in their recovery while gradually regaining independence.
Transitioning from PHP to Lower Levels of Care
Recovery is a gradual process, and PHP is a crucial step in that journey. Once patients complete PHP, they typically transition into an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or standard outpatient therapy. This step-down approach ensures continued support while allowing greater independence.
Additionally, our aftercare planning includes:
- Ongoing therapy sessions to reinforce coping skills.
- Support group recommendations for community-based recovery.
- Assistance with employment and housing stability.
- Long-term relapse prevention strategies.
