Recovery Program: Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive outpatient addiction treatment option designed for individuals who need structured, daily support but do not require 24-hour inpatient care.
Participants attend treatment for several hours each day while continuing to live at home in the evenings. This balance allows individuals to receive comprehensive care while maintaining aspects of their normal routine.
How PHP Works
PHP provides a high level of clinical support through a structured schedule that may include:
- Individual counselling and psychotherapy
- Group therapy and peer support
- Relapse prevention planning
- Mental health and addiction education
- Ongoing clinical monitoring
Benefits of a Partial Hospitalization Program
- More intensive care than standard outpatient programs
- Structured support without full-time residential admission
- Ability to continue work, school, or family responsibilities
- Effective as a step-down after inpatient treatment
- Suitable as a step-up for those needing more support than outpatient care
PHP bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient treatment, offering flexibility without compromising care quality. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, professional guidance can help determine whether a Partial Hospitalization Program is the right fit.
