Understanding Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) at Pyramid Healthcare provide intensive, structured treatment for individuals struggling with complex substance use disorders or co-occurring mental health disorders. PHP is designed for those who require more support than outpatient care can offer but do not need the 24-hour supervision provided by residential treatment. These programs typically involve 20 or more hours of therapy per week. Sometimes referred to as day programs, PHP usually runs for up to six hours per day.

The Role of PHP in Addiction Recovery

A Flexible and Intensive Treatment Option

PHP offers a flexible yet intensive treatment option for individuals at various stages of recovery. This level of care is ideal for those who need substantial support but can manage some aspects of their daily lives independently. At Pyramid Healthcare, our PHP is tailored to address the unique needs of each client, providing a comprehensive approach to recovery that includes both substance use and co-occurring mental health issues.

Transitioning Between Levels of Care

A critical bridge in the continuum of care, PHP can either serve as a step up from less intensive outpatient programs for those who need more structure and support or a step down from residential treatment as clients transition back into their everyday lives. This flexibility ensures that each individual receives the appropriate level of care to support their ongoing recovery journey.

Key Components of PHP at Pyramid Healthcare

Individualized Treatment Plans

At Pyramid Healthcare, we recognize that each person’s journey to recovery is unique. Our PHP includes individualized treatment plans that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. These plans may include a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy and other treatment modalities designed to address both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Comprehensive Therapeutic Services

Our PHP offers a wide range of therapeutic services to support recovery, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Teaches skills for managing emotions and improving relationships

  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): Enhances clients’ motivation to change and commit to their recovery

  • Family Therapy: Involves family members in the treatment process to improve communication and support systems

  • Group Therapy: Provides a supportive environment where clients can share experiences and learn from others facing similar challenges

Holistic and Experiential Therapies

Alongside traditional therapies, Pyramid Healthcare’s PHP incorporates holistic and experiential treatments to promote overall well-being and healing. These may include yoga, meditation, art therapy and recreational activities. These therapies help clients develop healthy coping mechanisms, reduce stress and improve their physical and emotional health.

The Benefits of PHP at Pyramid Healthcare

Structured Support Without Full-Time Residential Commitment

PHP provides the structure and support necessary for recovery without requiring clients to live at the facility. This allows individuals with a strong support system to maintain important aspects of their daily lives, such as family responsibilities and work commitments, while still receiving intensive treatment.

Focus on Long-Term Recovery

Our PHP is designed to equip clients with the tools and skills they need for long-term recovery. By addressing both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders, we help clients build a strong foundation for sustained sobriety and overall well-being.

Continuous Care and Support

Pyramid Healthcare is committed to providing continuous care and support throughout the recovery process. Clients in our PHP have access to a wide range of resources and support services, including aftercare planning and ongoing therapy, to help them maintain their recovery and prevent relapse.
