Understanding PHP

Partial hospitalization occupies the middle ground between inpatient and outpatient care. At ASAM Level 2.5, PHP provides intensive daily treatment with medical monitoring while allowing patients to sleep at home or in a sober living environment. This structure supports patients transitioning from inpatient care or those who need more support than standard outpatient offers.

Who Benefits From PHP?

PHP is ideal for patients stepping down from inpatient, those with stable housing but significant treatment needs, and individuals who need medication monitoring but not 24-hour supervision. It provides the therapeutic intensity of residential care with the independence of outpatient living.

PHP: Common Questions

PHP (ASAM Level 2.5) provides 20-30 hours per week of structured treatment, typically 5-6 days per week, 6 hours per day. Patients attend treatment during the day and return home in the evening. PHP includes medical monitoring, group and individual therapy, medication management, and psychoeducation.

PHP provides more intensive treatment (20-30 hrs/week vs 9-20 hrs/week for IOP) with medical monitoring. It's appropriate for patients stepping down from inpatient who still need significant structure, or those who need more support than IOP provides but don't require 24-hour supervision.
