Find Recovery with Our Partial Hospitalization Program

Find Recovery with Our Partial Hospitalization Program

When facing substance abuse or mental health issues, finding the right level of care is crucial. A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides intensive support without requiring an overnight stay. At SLO Recovery Center, our PHP focuses on healing the whole person through personalized treatment programs, combining evidence-based therapies and holistic methods to support lasting recovery.

What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program is a structured treatment program designed for individuals with substance abuse or mental illness who need more support than outpatient care but don’t require full-time supervision. Patients attend therapy during the day and return home at night, allowing them to balance recovery with daily responsibilities.

PHP serves as a bridge between inpatient psychiatric treatment and traditional outpatient care, offering the structure needed to promote long-term stability and growth.

PHPs are often part of community mental health center services, making them accessible to individuals seeking comprehensive care.

Who is a Partial Hospitalization Program For?

A Partial Hospitalization Program is ideal for individuals who:

  • Need mental health treatment or substance abuse care but do not require 24-hour supervision
  • Are transitioning from an inpatient psychiatric program and need continued support
  • Have experienced a recent relapse and need stabilization
  • Benefit from structured individual therapy and group sessions to prevent high-risk behaviors

How PHP at SLO Recovery Center Works

Our Partial Hospitalization Program typically lasts 4 to 6 weeks, depending on a patient’s symptoms and progress. Each day is carefully planned to provide consistent care and support.

Key components of our PHP include:

  • Evidence-based therapies: Patients receive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Relapse Prevention sessions.
  • DUI services: Specialized support for individuals dealing with substance-related legal issues.
  • Holistic healing: Activities like yoga, Healing Arts, and community-based outings promote well-being.
  • Community recovery support: Patients engage in group activities that foster accountability and long-term growth.

This structure helps patients build the skills they need while integrating these lessons into real-world experiences.

Benefits of a Partial Hospitalization Program

1. Intensive Care Without an Overnight Stay

Patients receive structured care similar to inpatient psychiatric programs but can return home daily. This allows them to maintain connections with family and friends while receiving the treatment they need.

2. Cost-Effective Treatment

PHPs are typically more affordable than full-time inpatient programs, making them a practical option for individuals seeking intensive care.

3. Customized Treatment Plans

Every patient’s treatment is personalized to fit their unique challenges. This includes individual therapy, group counseling, and holistic interventions.

4. Smooth Transition Between Levels of Care

PHPs serve as a bridge between inpatient psychiatric care and outpatient programs, ensuring that patients receive consistent and appropriate support throughout their recovery.

Evidence-Based Therapies at SLO Recovery Center

Our PHP includes core therapies that target both substance use and mental health challenges:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps patients recognize and change harmful thought patterns linked to substance abuse or mental illness.
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): Teaches patients how to manage intense emotions, reduce stress, and build better coping mechanisms.
  • Relapse Prevention: Provides tools to help patients recognize triggers and develop strategies to maintain sobriety.

These therapies are supported by holistic practices like yoga and mindfulness activities to create balance and well-being.

Holistic Healing: Treating the Whole Person

Recovery involves more than stopping substance use. It’s about healing the mind, body, and spirit. At SLO Recovery Center, our PHP integrates wellness activities such as yoga, community outings, and artistic therapies to help individuals heal on a deeper level.

This approach, often used in community mental health centers, encourages patients to reconnect with themselves and their values, creating long-term growth and resilience.
