How does Php Offer More Intensive Support than a Standard Intensive Outpatient Program?

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers a significantly higher level of clinical intensity and structure compared to a standard Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). While both allow you to live at home, the primary difference lies in the daily time commitment and the level of medical oversight provided.

We provide more intensive support through:

  • Weekly Time Commitment: Our PHP requires 20–30 hours of structured therapy per week, whereas a standard IOP typically involves only 9–15 hours.
  • Clinical Supervision: We offer daily medical and psychiatric supervision, including Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and Psychiatric Medication Management, which is more frequent than the oversight found in traditional outpatient settings.
  • Full-Day Structure: PHP is designed as a full-time commitment, providing a day-treatment environment that serves as a vital bridge for those who need consistent structure but do not require 24-hour supervision.
  • Comprehensive Care: We utilize a holistic approach and evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, Trauma Therapy, and dual-diagnosis support to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

We believe in meeting you where you are, and as you progress, we facilitate a seamless step down from PHP to IOP to help you regain independence while maintaining clinical safety. Results may vary.
