Partial Hospitalization Programs and Rehab Centers
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are the most intensive form of outpatient care, with patients attending 20-30 hours of programming per week — usually 5-6 days, daytime hours — and returning home at night. PHP layers in medical monitoring, medication management, intensive group and individual therapy, and integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions. It often serves as the bridge between residential treatment and IOP, or as a primary entry point when 24-hour residential care is not required.

Understanding Partial Hospitalization
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) provide the most intensive form of outpatient addiction treatment available. Hudson Mohawk Recovery helps you find PHP programs that deliver comprehensive daytime care and let you sleep at home in your own bed each night.
A Look at What PHP Includes
PHP programs typically build in:
- 20-30 hours of treatment per week, usually across 5-6 days
- Medical monitoring and medication management throughout the program
- Intensive group and individual therapy as the daily backbone
- Psychiatric evaluation and integrated care for co-occurring disorders
- Structured daytime programming, generally morning through afternoon
PHP as the Bridge Between Levels
PHP sits squarely between residential treatment and intensive outpatient care. It is often the right fit when someone needs more daily support than IOP can offer but does not require 24-hour residential supervision. PHP is also a frequent step-down for people wrapping up inpatient or residential programs.
Who PHP Tends to Be a Good Fit For
PHP works well for people with moderate to severe addiction who have stable housing, those carrying co-occurring mental health disorders that need integrated treatment, and patients stepping down from higher levels of care who still benefit from substantial daily structure.
