What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a highly structured outpatient treatment program. It provides intensive therapy and support while allowing you to return home or to a sober living at the end of each day.

Your path to recovery is waiting
and we’re here to help.

Our admissions specialist are available 24/7 to listen to your story
and get you started with next steps.

Why call us?

PHP is ideal for those who require more care than traditional outpatient therapy. They have completed or do not need 24/7 supervision in a residential facility.

Who Can Benefit from PHP?

PHP is designed for individuals facing challenges such as:

  • Substance use disorders
  • Co-occurring mental illness (anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, etc.)
  • Eating disorders
  • Post-detox stabilization
  • Individuals transitioning from inpatient rehab
  • Those needing a structured environment for relapse prevention

Our program provides the care and resources necessary to help patients build sustainable recovery skills.

Goals of Our PHP Program

Our PHP treatment is tailored to:

  • Provide stabilization for individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges.
  • Equip patients with coping strategies and types of therapy to navigate everyday life without substance use.
  • Offer a structured therapeutic environment with professional support.
  • Encourage self-management and accountability to promote long-term recovery.
  • Prepare patients to transition into lower levels of care, such as Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) or standard outpatient therapy.

What to Expect in Our PHP Program

At Anchorage Recovery Center, our PHP program operates five days a week. Each session lasts approximately three to six hours per day.

This structured schedule allows patients to receive intensive treatment while maintaining personal responsibilities.

Therapeutic Services Designed for Healing

  • Individual Therapy – Engage in one-on-one counseling to process trauma, uncover triggers, and build healthy emotional responses.
  • Group Therapy – Share experiences and gain strength from peers facing similar challenges, all within a therapist-led environment.
  • Family Therapy – Rebuild trust, improve communication, and educate loved ones on how to support your recovery journey.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identify negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more constructive behaviors.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – Learn vital skills for emotional regulation, stress management, and improving interpersonal relationships.
  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – A rapid and effective trauma therapy that replaces distressing memories with positive images—often within a single session.
  • Medication Management – Receive expert supervision and adjustments to ensure safe, effective use of medications for mental health or substance use treatment.
  • Holistic Therapies – Restore mind-body balance through yoga, mindfulness meditation, and expressive therapies like art or music.

Our dedicated team—comprising licensed therapists, medical professionals, and addiction specialists—provides personalized care based on your unique needs and goals.

A Typical Day in Our PHP Program

A structured daily schedule is essential for building consistency in recovery. Here’s what a typical day in our PHP might look like:

Morning Session

  • Guided mindfulness and meditation
  • Group therapy session
  • Educational workshops on relapse prevention

Afternoon Session

  • Individual therapy or case management
  • Life skills training (e.g., stress management, communication skills)
  • Holistic therapy (art, music, or yoga therapy)

Evening

  • Patients return home to practice coping skills in real-life settings
  • Encouraged participation in support groups (AA, NA, SMART Recovery, etc.)

This balance allows individuals to apply what they’ve learned in a real-world environment while receiving professional guidance.

The Role of Medication Management

For many individuals in PHP, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) plays a crucial role. MAT assists in stabilizing mental health and reducing cravings.

Our medical team provides comprehensive medication management. This ensures each patient receives the right prescriptions tailored to their recovery needs.

Our staff collaborates with psychiatrists, therapists, and case managers to adjust medications as needed, ensuring optimal treatment outcomes.

How Long Does PHP Last?

The duration of PHP varies based on individual needs. Typical stays are around four months, but some patients may require more or less time depending on factors such as:

  • Progress toward treatment goals
  • Mental health stability
  • Adjustments in medication-assisted treatment (if applicable)
  • Insurance coverage and financial considerations

After finishing PHP, many patients move to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or regular outpatient therapy for ongoing support.

Transitioning to Lower Levels of Care

Recovery is a gradual process. Stepping down from PHP to a lower level of care ensures a smooth transition. We offer flexible outpatient options that allow patients to continue treatment while resuming work, school, or family responsibilities.

Next Steps After PHP

  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): A structured but less intensive program with therapy sessions several times a week.
  • Standard Outpatient Therapy: Weekly counseling for long-term support and relapse prevention.
  • Sober Living Homes: A safe, drug-free environment for individuals who need extra support.
  • Aftercare Planning: Assistance with support groups, community resources, and continued therapy referrals.

Our goal is to equip individuals with the tools needed for lasting sobriety and mental wellness.
