Partial Hospitalization Programs and Centers
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are the most intensive form of outpatient care, typically 20-30 hours per week. You attend structured treatment during the day and return home each evening, which bridges the gap between residential care and standard outpatient. PHP suits people with co-occurring disorders or those stepping down from inpatient care who still need substantial daily support.

Understanding Partial Hospitalization
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are the most intensive level of outpatient addiction care. Main Line Recovery helps you find PHP options that provide full daytime treatment while you head home each evening.
What a PHP Day Looks Like
PHP typically includes:
- 20-30 treatment hours per week, across 5-6 days
- Medical monitoring and medication management
- Intensive group and individual therapy
- Psychiatric evaluation and care for co-occurring disorders
- Structured daily programming from morning through afternoon
How PHP Bridges the Gap
PHP connects residential treatment and intensive outpatient. It fits people who need more support than IOP offers but don't require 24-hour residential supervision, and it's a common step-down for those finishing inpatient or residential care.
Who PHP Is For
PHP suits people with moderate to severe addiction who have stable housing, those with co-occurring mental health conditions who need integrated care, and anyone stepping down from a higher level who still needs substantial daily support.
