A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a type of intensive outpatient treatment program for drug addiction. Instead of staying in a residential treatment center, individuals participating in this program can receive care for numerous hours a day, numerous days a week, and then go home to family at night. At Ethan Crossing, our rehab center in Ohio offers PHP rehab to those who may benefit the most from it.

Who Benefits from PHP Rehab?
PHP is a treatment program aimed at helping people with both drug addiction and mental health disorders. It does not require a stay in a treatment center but does require a significant amount of intensive therapy. Those who may be struggling with mental health disorders such as bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety may benefit the most from this type of program. It is more carefully designed to provide support for both addiction and mental health issues.
You may benefit from PHP rehab if you:
- Need substance abuse treatment for any type of drug or alcohol use
- May suffer from underlying mental health conditions
- Use drugs or alcohol to deal with stress, emotions, or challenges
- Cannot stop using drugs or alcohol without feeling cravings or withdrawal
- Have a safe, drug-free environment to live in during treatment
Keep in mind that this is not a residential treatment center. As a result, people go home at the end of the day to their family and friends. That can put them at higher risk of relapse if they stop engaging in treatment.
How Is IOP Different Than PHP Rehab?
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is much like PHP. Both require a significant amount of therapy – numerous hours each day. IOP has less of a focus on mental health disorders. It can still help people through mental health counseling but offers a less focused effort on these conditions and more support for other causes of addiction.
How Long Does PHP Rehab Last?
It’s never wise to rush treatment. Some people may be able to move from PHP into a less intensive form of outpatient treatment over time as they meet their goals in care. Most people will participate in this type of program for several weeks or months until they develop the healthy coping skills they need to maintain recovery.
Some people may also need to start with detox as a first step. This would occur prior to the use of PHP. That may mean an additional week or more to this type of care.
What to Expect During PHP Rehab
In a rehab center like Ethan Crossing, our team will work closely with you to determine the type and level of care right for your needs. Then, we’ll create an individualized therapy plan. Our treatment center offers a flexible schedule and a range of therapy options from which you can choose. Most people will receive both individual and group counseling. They may be provided medication for easing withdrawal as well as medical support for any needs.
Therapy in this level of care generally will include services such as:
- 12 step therapy program
- Yoga therapy program
- Family engagement program
- Music therapy program
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Trauma therapy program
It goes without saying that each person’s needs are unique. For that reason, it is best to choose a therapy that is right for your situation and goals. Yet, before you decide on the care you need, speak to a therapist first. Let them provide an assessment to help you reach your goals.
