What is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a highly structured outpatient treatment option that provides intensive support for individuals recovering from addiction and mental health disorders. At Recovery Cove in Lehigh Valley, the PHP serves as a vital step-down from residential care or a bridge after detox, offering a level of support that mimics inpatient care while allowing clients to return to their homes each evening.

The program typically includes:

  • Schedule: Programming runs five days a week for approximately six hours per day, totaling 20 to 30 hours weekly.
  • Clinical Approaches: Treatment incorporates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), group therapy, and individual counseling.
  • Holistic Care: The program treats the whole person by integrating medication-assisted treatment (MAT), mindfulness, yoga, and skill-building workshops for relapse prevention.
  • Eligibility: PHP is designed for adults with moderate-to-severe substance use disorders, those with dual diagnosis needs, or individuals at high risk of relapse who require intensive daily monitoring without full hospitalization.
