Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) For Addiction Treatment
Partial hospitalization programs, also called day treatment, offer the structured care you need with shorter requirement that you stay at the facility overnight vs typical inpatient treatment. PHPs provide a level of care that bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient treatment, offering hours of assistance each day on most days of the week.
Typically, PHPs offer at least six hours of treatment a day, though it’s possible to receive more. This highly structured schedule provides an intensive level of support that can be essential for those who are moving down from inpatient treatment or who can’t participate in inpatient care but still require very hands-on programs.
Like Inpatient Treatment, PHP May Provide Services Such As:
- Medication Management
- Individual Therapy Sessions
- Family Therapy Sessions
- Experiential Therapy
- Group Therapy Sessions
- Aftercare Planning
- Dual Diagnosis Treatment
- Relapse Prevention
Benefits of PHP Treatment OF
Provides High-Intensity Treatment
PHPs offer a significantly higher level of care than traditional outpatient addiction treatment. This is essential for those starting their recovery or people who worry about the transition between inpatient and standard outpatient programs.
Each week, you spend hours in treatment and participate in individual and group therapy sessions to address the underlying cause of your substance use disorder. This high intensity makes it easier to gain a footing on your recovery.
Offers A Less Restrictive Setting
You don’t stay overnight at the facility when you choose partial hospitalization programs. This is essential if you have family or work responsibilities you can’t set aside.
You can return home each night and keep your privacy. If you decide to participate in inpatient treatment, for example, you might have to let your employer know why you’ll be out for a period of time. This may not be something you’re ready to do and could keep you from getting assistance in the first place.
Allows For Immediate Application Of Skills
Removing yourself fully from your routine can make it difficult to transition out of inpatient treatment. The skills you learn in a PHP can help you tackle all of the daily stresses you may encounter when you return home. During your therapy sessions, you can address the various challenges you face in your everyday life.
Provides An Affordable Option
Inpatient care may not be an option for everyone. Staying at a facility can be more expensive if your insurance doesn’t have full coverage, and you’ll also need to take time off from work. That is not feasible for many. PHPs don’t really require that you take time off unless you want to.
Allows You To Build A Large Support System
When you enter inpatient care, your support system is made up of our professional medical staff who are offering guidance as well as other people who are getting treatment at the same time as you. If you participate in PHPs, you have both staff and your loved ones’ added support when home.
Helps You Build Confidence And Stability
Being able to put what you learn in your therapy sessions into actual practice can provide the confidence boost you need. You can use techniques for emotional regulation as well as communication strategies to help you address relationship issues in your daily life.
How Does PHP Treatment Tie Into Inpatient and Outpatient Treatment?
PHP is less intensive than inpatient treatment. It can be an option that works well for those who have already completed residential treatment and would like to maintain a high level of care.
A partial hospitalization program can also be an option if you have completed other programs and relapsed. You may not need the level of care of inpatient services if you can remain safe and get back on the road to recovery with the assistance of a PHP.
These programs also make it easier for you to transfer to standard outpatient treatment. PHPs teach you how to participate in your daily life while still maintaining your sobriety, so the transition to a more standard outpatient program is less stressful.

Is Detox Required After PHP?
Detox is not always required before or after PHP. Whether detox is needed depends on the substance being used, the severity of use, withdrawal risk, and the patient’s overall clinical condition.
If a person is still actively using alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, or other substances that may cause significant withdrawal symptoms, detox may be recommended before beginning PHP so the patient can stabilize safely.
Why Detox May Be Part Of The Process
Detox can help patients become medically stable before entering a structured therapeutic program such as PHP. Once the patient no longer needs 24-hour monitoring, partial hospitalization may be the next appropriate level of care.
For others, PHP may be appropriate without detox if they are medically stable and ready to begin structured daytime treatment.
Does Insurance Cover PHP Treatment?
Insurance coverage for PHP varies by provider, policy, and clinical need. Many plans do provide some level of coverage for partial hospitalization treatment, but benefits, authorizations, and patient responsibility can differ.
Our call center is available 24/7 to assist you with matters like:
- Whether Or Not Your Insurance May Assist With PHP Treatment
- Verifying Your Benefits
- Payment Plans To Meet Your Budget
Our team can help you understand your options and determine the most affordable path forward for treatment.
The Next Steps After PHP
After PHP, many patients continue their recovery through outpatient treatment, counseling, relapse prevention planning, alumni support, and other services that help them stay connected to sobriety.
The goal is to keep building stability while stepping down into the level of care that best supports long-term recovery.
Finding Your Sobriety
If you have been struggling with substance use, you know how deeply it can affect your work, relationships, physical health, confidence, and overall quality of life.
Whether this is your first time seeking treatment or you are returning after relapse, a partial hospitalization program may provide the support and structure needed to move forward with recovery.
You do not have to figure this out alone. With the right care team and treatment plan, finding your sobriety is possible.
A Step Toward Recovery
“The team at Bradford was always so welcoming and accommodating. They didn’t turn me away or give up on me when I relapsed. I was welcomed back with open arms with a ‘let’s try this again to help you get your life back’ approach. They never made me feel unworthy. The quality of care, doctors, and nurses are superb.”
