About This Program

What is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a day-treatment program that delivers the structure and intensity of residential care without the overnight stay.

PHP is the highest level of outpatient care available. Clients attend programming during the day, then return home, to a sober living house, or to another safe environment at night. The schedule is built to mirror a full clinical day so progress doesn't stall between sessions.

At Positive Recovery Centers, PHP clients typically attend 5-6 days per week for 20-30 hours of programming. All PHP clients meet weekly with our physician, and length of stay is tailored to your progress. PHP is the ideal step-down from residential treatment and a strong starting point for anyone whose acuity is too high for standard outpatient but who does not need 24/7 supervision.

Program Goals

What You'll Work Toward in PHP

Stabilization

Settle into a structured recovery routine without leaving home. PHP creates a full clinical day so early sobriety doesn't have to be managed alone, and so progress made in detox or residential isn't lost in the gap.

Skill Building

Daily group therapy, individual counseling, and family work build the coping skills, relapse-prevention tools, and communication patterns that recovery rests on long-term.

Path to IOP

PHP is engineered as a step-down. Once stability is built, clients transition to our Intensive Outpatient Program with the same care team, same curriculum, and a clear plan.

Why Choose Our PHP

Advantages of PHP at Positive Recovery

Most Intensive Outpatient

PHP is the closest thing to residential treatment without sleeping over. Same clinical hours, same level of structure, same care team.

Daily Structure

5-6 days per week with a full day of programming. The schedule itself becomes part of the recovery, replacing the chaos of active addiction with a clear routine.

Smooth Step-Down

PHP is engineered as the bridge between residential and IOP. Clients keep the same providers and curriculum as their level of care steps down, so nothing gets lost in transition.

Return Home at Night

Keep your own bed, your family routines, your pets. Sleeping at home keeps recovery integrated into real life instead of treating it as something separate.

Family Engagement

Built-in family therapy hours every week. PHP gives loved ones a structured way to participate in the recovery process and start repairing what addiction strained.

Insurance Friendly

Most major insurance plans cover PHP at this level of care. We verify benefits up front and handle the pre-authorization paperwork before treatment begins.
