Without prior knowledge of how to locate appropriate mental health or addiction treatment, selecting the right outpatient program can feel overwhelming.

Clients frequently begin Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) following detoxification or completion of inpatient treatment. PHP generally requires daily participation and demands a greater daily time commitment than Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP).

At Discovery Transitions Outpatient, we provide highly regarded PHP services.

Why choose us:

6 hours a day, 5 days a week PHP with flexible scheduling
In-person and virtual appointments
Morning, noon, and evening tracks
Most insurances accepted

PHP programs feature in-depth individual and group therapy sessions, helping clients develop healthier coping strategies to handle stress without turning to alcohol or drug use. This rigorous daily structure is why PHP is frequently referred to as day treatment—clients receive intensive, near full-time care during the day while returning home each evening.

The difference between IOP and PHP is nuanced yet important. The best program for you depends on factors like your prior treatment history and the quality of your home support network. Key distinctions include:

Our PHP programs are 6 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Our IOP programs are 3 hours a day, 3–5 days a week.

Partial Hospitalization Program

Clients frequently move straight into a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) upon finishing detoxification or inpatient treatment. PHP generally calls for daily attendance, with sessions running 5–6 hours per day, typically 3–5 days per week—making it a more intensive level of care than the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

PHP emphasizes in-depth individual and group therapy sessions designed to equip clients with effective coping strategies for handling stress without relying on alcohol or substances. Because of this structured, high-frequency approach, PHP is commonly known as day treatment: clients benefit from near full-time therapeutic support throughout the day while returning home each evening.

In addition, PHP provides greater oversight, including close monitoring of psychiatric symptoms and medication adherence, although the specific scope of these elements can vary based on individual insurance coverage.
