Partial Hospitalization Program Treatment

When it comes to addiction treatment, there are different levels of care. These levels of care vary depending on how intense the patient’s addiction is. These levels of care also vary based on structure intensity. For example, individuals that suffer from severe addictions will need to receive care through inpatient or residential treatment programs. The next most intensive and structured form of addiction treatment after inpatient and residential treatment is partial hospitalization program (PHP) treatment.

What Is Partial Hospitalization Program Treatment?
Partial hospitalization program (PHP) treatment is a form of outpatient rehab. PHP treatment involves addiction treatment for approximately five to eight hours a day, five to seven days a week. Partial hospitalization program treatment essentially requires its patients to attend rehab all day. Therefore, another name for PHP treatment is day treatment.

PHP treatment patients get to spend their evenings and nights in the comfort of their own homes. This is because partial hospitalization programs are outpatient treatment programs. Thus, PHP patients can still tend to some of their external responsibilities. This is different from inpatient or residential treatment patients who must live in a rehab facility 24/7 during treatment.

Partial hospitalization program treatment is the most intensive form of outpatient treatment. Therefore, as mentioned earlier, it’s the most intensive and structured form of treatment following inpatient and residential treatment.

Individuals with moderate to severe addictions often need to attend a highly intense and structured form of substance abuse treatment. Unfortunately, some can’t live in a rehab facility 24/7 during the time that they are receiving care. Individuals in this scenario should receive PHP treatment.

The Benefits of Partial Hospitalization Program Treatment
There are many benefits to partial hospitalization program treatment. Some of these benefits include:

The ability to upkeep some regular life responsibilities and live in the comfort of home while still receiving intensive addiction treatment
Having intensive and structured forms of treatment that is less expensive than residential or inpatient treatment
Access to medical attention and care while attending rehab
Partial Hospitalization Program Treatment vs. Residential Treatment
Doctor Consultation

As briefly mentioned already, partial hospitalization program treatment primarily differs from residential treatment in that PHP treatment is an outpatient form of treatment. Thus, PHP treatment allows patients to return home in the evenings after rehab is over for the day.

Residential treatment, on the other hand, gives its patients around-the-clock care and monitoring. Thus, residential treatment patients must live in a rehab facility 24/7 while receiving care.

Residential treatment is for individuals with severe addictions. Partial hospitalization program treatment is for people with moderate to severe addictions. Therefore, any individual with a severe substance addiction that absolutely can’t attend an inpatient form of rehab such as residential treatment, can receive PHP therapy. Individuals with moderate-level substance addictions can also benefit from receiving partial hospitalization program treatment.

Partial Hospitalization Program Treatment vs. Standard Outpatient Treatment
Partial hospitalization program treatment differs from standard outpatient treatment. This is because partial hospitalization program treatment is much more intense and structured. This is evident in the fact that PHP treatment requires its patients to attend rehab all day long, for five to seven days a week. Standard outpatient treatment programs, on the other hand, only require their patients to attend rehab for a couple of hours a day, one or two days a week. There is one aspect that partial hospitalization program treatment and standard outpatient treatment for addiction have in common. This is the fact that they both allow their patients to live at home while attending rehab.

Partial Hospitalization Program Treatment vs. Intensive Outpatient Program Treatment
The next intense level of substance abuse treatment after partial hospitalization program treatment is intensive outpatient program treatment. Intensive outpatient program treatment is outpatient treatment that requires its patients to attend rehab for approximately three to four hours a day, three to four days a week. Thus, intensive outpatient programs are less intense than PHP programs. They are still more intense than standard outpatient program treatment, though.
