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:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy
  • Relapse prevention
  • Family education and day-to-day goal development
  • One-on-one counseling sessions
  • Group therapies for behavior modification through peer support

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.

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:

Psychiatrists

Psychologists

Psychiatric nurses

Social workers

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

  • More convenient and less expensive
  • Return home each evening
  • Continue work, school, or childcare
  • Less restrictive environment

Inpatient Rehab

  • Live at the facility 24/7
  • Higher level of supervision
  • Removed from daily triggers
  • Typically more intensive and costly

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.

Comparing Options

In PHP Rehab, Our Patients Have Access To

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a form of treatment that allows patients to give in-depth information about themselves. This can include their family background, substance use history, daily responsibilities, and future goals.

Utilizing CBT

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is a commonly used partial hospitalization program technique. It teaches coping skills and problem-solving techniques to help patients apply partial hospitalization programs to everyday life.

Group Therapy

Group therapies involve patients sharing with each other. After individual therapy sessions, partial hospitalization clients attend group therapy sessions led by a therapist or counselor, where they can meet people in similar situations.

Family Therapy

Remote video sessions are available for partial hospitalization clients who have to travel great distances or whose substance use disorder prevents them from attending partial hospitalization programs in person.

Aftercare Planning

Pre-treatment assessments help develop treatment plans before starting partial hospitalization programs, which typically provide case management services. Family involvement is emphasized because it has been proven that partial hospitalization programs with family interventions in early recovery improve stabilization and long-term recovery outcomes.

Exercise & Nutrition Counseling

At partial hospitalization programs, meals are provided, as well as healthy snacks and drinks throughout the day. Partial hospitalization programs also provide counseling on proper nutrition so patients learn to eat nutritious foods while maintaining a balanced diet.

Chiropractor

A chiropractor used in PHP partial hospitalization programs will be consulted before the client undergoes any treatment.

Art therapy can help addicts and alcoholics recover from substance abuse by teaching them to express their feelings through painting, clay modeling, and other forms of creative expression.
