How long does PHP usually last?

Most people participate in our PHP for two to six weeks, but the exact length depends on your progress and clinical needs. Your treatment team reviews your progress regularly and recommends when you're ready to transition to the next level of care.

Is PHP the same as inpatient treatment?

No. PHP provides intensive daytime treatment while allowing you to return home each evening, whereas inpatient treatment includes 24-hour care and overnight stays. Your clinical assessment helps determine whether PHP offers the right level of support or if inpatient treatment would be more appropriate.

What is the difference between PHP and IOP?

PHP provides more intensive treatment than IOP, with treatment typically offered five days a week compared to IOP's three to five evening sessions. Your clinical assessment helps determine whether PHP or IOP is the right level of care based on your symptoms, daily functioning, and support needs.

Do I need a referral for PHP?

Usually, no. Most people can contact our admissions team directly to schedule an assessment, although some insurance plans may require a referral or prior authorization before treatment begins.

Many people need more support than weekly outpatient counseling but do not need to stay in a residential program. Our partial hospitalization program near Powell, OH, provides structured daytime treatment for addiction while allowing you to return home each evening.

At our addiction treatment center near Powell, PHP is the most intensive outpatient program we offer. It is designed for adults who need structured treatment for substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health conditions, or both.

Our physician-led, Joint Commission-accredited outpatient program is located in nearby Westerville. Before treatment begins, you’ll complete a clinical assessment so we can determine whether PHP is the right level of care or recommend another program based on the results of your assessment.

PHP Provides More Structure Than Weekly Outpatient Treatment

PHP provides a higher level of care than weekly outpatient treatment. Most people attend PHP three to five days per week, giving them dedicated time to focus on recovery while continuing to live at home. Because PHP is a daytime program with a significant weekly time commitment, some people adjust their work schedules or take time away from work during treatment.

Treatment may include:

Individual therapy.
Group therapy.
Psychiatric care and medication management when appropriate.
Recovery education and relapse prevention.
Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions.

The additional time spent in treatment gives you more opportunities to practice new skills and build confidence throughout treatment.

Your Assessment Determines Whether PHP Is the Right Level of Care

Choosing the right level of care is one of the most important decisions in early recovery. Your addiction assessment and evaluation help our clinical team understand your substance use, mental health, medical history, and daily circumstances before recommending whether PHP is the most appropriate treatment option.

During your assessment, we’ll evaluate factors like:

The severity of your substance use.
Your physical and mental health.
Any co-occurring mental health conditions.
Previous treatment experiences.
Your home environment and support system.

Our recommendations are based on the results of your assessment, not a generic approach. If PHP is the right fit, we’ll explain what treatment involves and help you begin care. If another level of care is more appropriate, we’ll recommend the program that best supports your recovery.

Family Involvement Can Support Recovery During PHP

Recovery affects the whole family, not just the person receiving treatment. When appropriate and with your permission, family members can be involved in parts of the recovery process so they can better understand addiction and learn how to support you.

That may include a family counseling session, a family education session, or conversations about your progress and how family members can support your recovery at home. These discussions can also help improve communication, address misunderstandings, and begin rebuilding trust.

Your privacy remains an important part of your care. Family members are only involved with your permission unless disclosure is required by law. Your treatment team will discuss the level of family involvement that’s appropriate for your situation.

PHP Uses Multiple Therapy Approaches to Support Recovery

Our partial hospitalization program combines evidence-based and experiential therapies because no single therapeutic approach works for everyone. This allows your treatment team to tailor treatment to your clinical needs while helping you build practical coping skills that support long-term recovery.

Depending on your clinical needs, treatment may include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
Motivational Interviewing (MI).
Art therapy.
Music therapy.

Using multiple therapeutic approaches allows your treatment team to adjust treatment as your needs change throughout the program. Different therapies help you better understand the factors contributing to addiction, strengthen healthy coping skills, and apply what you learn outside of treatment.

Recovery Continues After PHP

Finishing PHP is an important step, but recovery does not stop there. As you move forward, your care team will continue evaluating your progress and help determine the next step in your treatment.

For many people, that means transitioning into our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), where they can continue therapy and recovery planning with a lower level of clinical support. Others may move into outpatient treatment or aftercare, depending on their progress and ongoing needs.

The goal is to provide ongoing support while helping you transition safely to the next stage of recovery. By stepping down to the appropriate level of care at the right pace, you can continue building on the progress you made in PHP while gaining greater independence over time.
