What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A partial hospitalization program is a structured, intensive outpatient program that supports people who are recovering from addiction or other mental health conditions. It’s for clients who need a therapy program that’s more flexible than inpatient care and allows them to continue working, going to school, or caring for a family.
A typical PHP will have clients participating in therapy sessions five days a week for 1–6 hours or more a day. Once finished, they go home or move to a sober living community if they lack a stable living environment. PHP generally lasts 2–4 weeks but can go on longer if necessary. The types of therapy used in PHP include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Motivational interviewing (MI)
- Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
- Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
- Family therapy
At The Right Step, our PHP can support your continued recovery from addiction or other mental health conditions. We’ll create an effective program to continue your recovery journey with behavioral and holistic therapy and medical support.
5 Benefits of Partial Hospitalization Program Participation
There are many benefits of participating in a partial hospitalization program that far outweigh trying to recover alone. You’ll better understand the disorder and learn healthy ways of addressing the behaviors it creates.
1. Continuation of Care
Therapists use behavioral therapy to teach you healthy ways of managing your symptoms and triggers. PHP provides a safe space to continue working with a therapist and practicing your communication and coping skills. You’ll continue participating in cognitive-behavioral therapy and other therapies while returning to your everyday life. During therapy, you’ll talk about any struggles you have and what coping skills you used to ease symptoms.
2. Increased Confidence
Substance use and other mental health conditions can harm your self-esteem and confidence. Therapists work privately with each client in group and private therapy sessions to rebuild confidence in their ability to lead a mentally healthy lifestyle.
3. A Stronger Support Network
One of the benefits of partial hospitalization is the relationships you’ll build with your peers during therapy. These relationships can turn into life-long friendships where you’ll support each other through difficult days when symptoms and cravings return. Plus, your family can be a part of that recovery network. They’ll learn how they can contribute to your recovery by creating a stable and supportive home where you can grow and thrive.
4. Ensures a Smooth Transition
For clients leaving a residential treatment program, PHP can help ease the transition and support continued recovery. You’ll continue working with a therapist for 5–6 hours a day, talking about how going home makes you feel and working on any issues that arise.
5. More Flexibility
A partial hospitalization program is less restrictive than inpatient care and can help ease any complications that come up during this transitional stage. You’ll have the support you need while adjusting to living at home and going back to work or school.
