Daytime Treatment—Home Evenings

How PHP Works — A Simple, Structured Path
1) Comprehensive Intake & Goal Setting
We review your history, current symptoms, safety needs, and personal goals. Together, we build a care plan that matches your clinical needs and schedule.
2) Daytime Treatment, Home Evenings
Attend PHP during the day (typically 5–6 hours, 5 days/week) for therapy, psychiatry, and skills training—then return home to practice new coping tools.
3) Evidence-Based Therapies & Medication Support
Individual, group, and family therapy plus medication management and health education—designed to stabilize mood, reduce cravings, and build resilience.
4) Step-Down & Aftercare Planning
When ready, we transition you to IOP, standard outpatient, or community supports with a written relapse-prevention plan and scheduled follow-ups.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A Partial Hospitalization Program is an intensive, day-based level of care that combines the structure of inpatient treatment with the flexibility of living at home. PHP typically includes daily group therapy, individual sessions, psychiatric visits, medication management, skills training (CBT, DBT, relapse prevention), and health education. It’s ideal for clients who need more than outpatient but less than inpatient support.
Who Benefits from PHP?
