Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) combine intensive clinical therapies with supervised living skills training in a structured, supportive environment to help individuals achieve their treatment goals. Typically, PHPs are designed to address specific psychiatric symptoms or other serious mental health disorders. PHP rehab is also known as “day programs.”
From August 2020–February 2021, the percentage of adults with recent symptoms of anxiety or a depressive disorder increased from 36.4% to 41.5%, and the percentage of those reporting unmet mental health care needs increased from 9.2% to 11.7%.

Understanding PHP
What’s the Purpose of a Partial Hospitalization Program in Florida?
Patients can attend partial hospitalization services three times per week, allowing professionals to provide comprehensive assessments and address co-occurring disorders on an outpatient basis. The length of stay also determines how soon patients can return to work or school. Recovery is not limited by location, and partial hospitalization provides an opportunity for those who struggle with transportation issues so they can still receive comprehensive and individualized care in their community.
People typically attend partial hospitalization programs for 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Partial hospitalization dosing can be as little as four hours a day for those who have not been through previous addiction treatment programs and more than seven hours a day for those who have been through partial hospitalization programs before.
Program Components
What Does PHP Rehab Include?
Partial services include:
Patients can enjoy both one-on-one counseling sessions, where they explore the root causes of addiction, as well as group therapies that provide an opportunity for behavior modification through ongoing peer support.

Ideal Candidates
Who Would Benefit the Most from PHP Rehab?
People who have a severe addiction and require increased treatment may benefit the most from partial hospitalization programs in their area. When individuals cannot attend inpatient rehab for some time, partial hospitalization is often advertised to meet these demands. For example, PHP rehab in Florida is tailored to various needs. It allows people who would otherwise not be able to seek help to receive ongoing support to sustain sobriety.

Research & Outcomes
How Effective is a PHP Rehab?
Many partial hospitalization programs provide assessment and treatment services during scheduled times throughout the day and evening so you can attend school or work and continue your life as usual.
In partial hospitalization programs, you will be treated by a team including mental health professionals such as:
The partial hospitalization team conducts assessments to identify specific psychiatric symptoms or other severe mental health disorders that the patient is experiencing.
A study was completed at the National Institute on Drug Abuse Clinical Pharmacology Research Unit at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in association with an outpatient treatment facility. Patients were treated with medical-model approaches and interventions to enhance medication compliance during their partial hospitalization program.
The patients who participated in this study experienced improvements even after finishing the partial hospitalization program. One year following treatment, outcomes were better among participants assigned to receive medication management/therapy.
Why It Works
Why Are Partial Hospitalization Programs for Drug Addiction Effective?
The partial hospitalization programs for alcohol and drugs provide both structure as well as support to those who need it most during addiction treatment. Partial Hospitalization Programs can help people stay focused on their recovery. At the same time, they maintain healthy relationships, continue with their education or job, and provide stability in other areas of their lives.
Affordability
How Much Does PHP Rehab Cost?
PHP rehab is very affordable and typically costs less than inpatient rehab. Depending on the state you live in, partial hospitalization is paid for by insurance companies and can be an ongoing weekly or daily process. This allows patients to receive consistent support while working and maintaining a regular schedule. PHP rehab costs are typically a fraction of that for an inpatient stay.
Completing partial hospitalization is usually followed by continued care and support through the 12-step program, group meetings, or ongoing therapy with a therapist with experience working with people treated at partial hospitalization programs.
Comparing Options
What’s the Difference Between PHP and Inpatient Rehab?
PHP Rehab provides an essential link between intensive clinical care and community living for individuals who need support achieving sobriety and long-term recovery.
Program Levels
What’s the Difference Between an IOP and PHP?
The difference between an IOP and PHP rehab is that the partial hospitalization program provides much more intensive treatment than an IOP. The partial hospitalization program offers a higher level of contact and care than the Intensive Outpatient Program does. IOPs are provided as a less intensive therapy option than partial hospitalization.
Dual Diagnosis
How Does a PHP Rehab Help Co-occurring Disorders?
Co-occurring disorders such as bipolar, depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders can be complicated to treat, especially when trying to help an individual recover from addiction.
A partial hospitalization program is ideal for this because patients receive therapy for their disorder and treatment for addiction at the same time.
When individuals who have co-occurring disorders participate in partial hospitalization programs specifically designed for dual diagnosis treatment, it often shortens the amount of time needed to achieve recovery. This is important because the less time a person spends getting better, the more likely they are to maintain sobriety. Patients also typically spend less money on partial hospitalization programs compared to inpatient rehab centers.
