Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)

Partial hospitalization bridges residential and outpatient care — intensive daytime treatment while returning home each evening.

The Middle Ground of Care

PHP provides intensive treatment during the day (typically 6-8 hours, 5-7 days per week) while allowing you to return home in the evenings. It offers nearly the intensity of inpatient care with greater personal freedom.

Ideal Waypoint For

PHP is often recommended as a step down from residential treatment or as an alternative for those who need intensive care but have a stable, supportive home environment.
