PHP Treatment Programs in the Southeast

What Is Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a high level of structured treatment — typically 5–6 hours per day, 5 days per week — while allowing patients to return home or to sober living housing in the evenings. PHP bridges the gap between inpatient/residential treatment and traditional outpatient care, providing intensive therapeutic support without full residential placement.

Who Is It For?

PHP is appropriate for individuals stepping down from residential treatment, those who need a higher level of support than IOP can provide, people with stable home environments and transportation, and those whose medical and psychiatric needs can be managed without overnight supervision.

What to Expect

PHP programs typically include individual therapy, multiple group therapy sessions per day, psychiatric medication management, psychoeducation groups, and skills-building workshops. The structured daily schedule helps establish healthy routines while the patient begins reintegrating into daily life.

How Long Does It Last?

2–6 weeks is typical, though this varies by individual need and insurance authorization. Many patients transition from PHP to IOP as they stabilize.

How It Connects to the Continuum of Care

PHP sits between residential and IOP on the continuum of care. Successful PHP completion is often followed by a step down to IOP and then to standard outpatient or ongoing therapy.
