Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A partial hospitalization program provides intensive day treatment while allowing clients to return home or to a sober living environment each evening. It's a structured approach that bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and more flexible outpatient care, offering a strong foundation for lasting recovery. At Discover Recovery, PHP combines clinical structure with the flexibility to maintain connection to daily life. Typically, clients participating in PHP engage in six to eight hours of treatment, five days a week. This schedule combines therapy, skill-building, and medical supervision, allowing people to address the root causes of addiction while developing strategies for long-term success. Our PHP is ideal for those who need a high level of treatment without the 24-hour supervision of residential care. It's also a great step for those transitioning from an inpatient setting who need continued support to maintain their progress.

Partial Hospitalization Program typically runs 6-8 hours per day, 5-6 days per week. The exact schedule depends on your individualized treatment plan.
