Outpatient treatment for mental health recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Three basic levels of care are available on an outpatient basis. A regular outpatient program (OP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and a partial hospitalization program (PHP). As you can imagine, a PHP is the highest level of care you can receive while still living at home.
Partial hospitalization is a standard of care that often meets the needs of those who qualify for inpatient treatment but have strong reasons for not choosing residential rehab. Evoke Wellness provides evidence-based care in several inpatient and outpatient options at all our locations in the United States. To learn more about our PHP or ask questions about how PHP programs differ from other choices, give us a call at 866.429.2960 or fill out this online form, and someone will get back to you promptly.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a high level of care while being offered on an outpatient basis. During the day, clients receive evidence-based therapies, skills education, and peer support before returning home to sleep.
A PHP typically involves five to six hours of treatment per day, five days a week. This makes it the highest level of outpatient care available, offering comprehensive support for those who:
- Need more structured treatment than traditional outpatient therapy provides
- Would benefit from daily therapeutic interventions but prefer to remain at home
- Are transitioning from inpatient residential care and still require a high level of support
While a PHP will likely require taking time off from work or school, it allows individuals to focus on healing while maintaining connections to their daily lives.
Is a Partial Hospitalization Program PHP Right for You?
Choosing the right level of mental health treatment is an important decision. While the choice is ultimately yours, consulting with a trusted therapist, doctor, or mental health professional can help determine the best option.
Factors to consider when choosing a PHP for mental health include:
- The severity of your mental health symptoms
- How long you’ve been experiencing challenges with emotional well-being
- Whether you have been diagnosed with a co-occurring disorder
- Whether your home environment is supportive and stable
- If you’ve experienced setbacks or relapses in mental health before
If you need structured, daily support but do not require inpatient hospitalization, a PHP may be the best choice for you.
If you're ready to start your journey to recovery, we're here to help.
