Overview
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program, often called PHP, is a structured form of daytime behavioral health treatment. It provides more treatment hours and clinical support than a standard outpatient program or intensive outpatient program, but it does not require clients to live at the treatment facility.
Clients attend scheduled programming during the day and return to a safe home or approved living environment after treatment. PHP may include individual therapy, group therapy, relapse-prevention planning, psychiatric support, medication management when clinically appropriate, and treatment for co-occurring mental health concerns.
PHP can be used as a step-down after medical detox or residential treatment. It may also be appropriate as a direct entry point when an assessment shows that weekly therapy or IOP does not provide enough structure.

Level of Care Assessment
Who Is a Good Fit for a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program may be appropriate for adults who are medically stable but still need frequent clinical support and a structured treatment schedule.
When is a higher level of care needed? PHP may not be the safest starting point during severe withdrawal, an active medical emergency, an acute psychiatric crisis, or when a person cannot remain safe outside treatment hours. A clinical assessment helps determine whether detox, residential treatment, PHP, IOP, or another level of care is most appropriate.
PHP may be appropriate when a person:
- Has completed withdrawal management or does not need 24-hour detox monitoring
- Needs more support than weekly outpatient therapy or IOP
- Is stepping down from residential addiction treatment
- Has a substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health symptoms
- Needs regular individual therapy, group therapy, or psychiatric support
- Has a safe place to stay outside treatment hours
- Can participate consistently in a structured daytime program
- Is ready to practice recovery skills in daily life
If someone is in immediate danger or experiencing a medical or psychiatric emergency, call 911 or 988. For a confidential level-of-care assessment, call (866) 311-0003.
Conditions Treated
Substance Use and Co-Occurring Conditions Addressed in PHP
Northbound’s Partial Hospitalization Program supports adults recovering from alcohol or drug use disorders. Treatment is individualized because withdrawal risk, mental health symptoms, medication needs, and recovery goals differ for each client.
Substance use can occur alongside depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, PTSD, mood-related concerns, or other mental health conditions. Integrated dual-diagnosis treatment addresses substance use and mental health needs within one coordinated care plan. Depending on the client’s needs and services available at the location, care may include individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, trauma-informed care, CBT, DBT, EMDR when clinically appropriate, relapse-prevention planning, family support, case management, and continuing-care planning. Not every client receives every therapy.
Substance Use
Co-Occurring Mental Health
If someone is experiencing a medical emergency, severe withdrawal, suicidal thoughts, or an immediate safety concern, call 911 or 988. This page does not replace an individual medical assessment. Admissions screens for withdrawal risk before recommending PHP placement.
The Process
How Northbound’s Partial Hospitalization Program Works
From the first confidential call through step-down planning, each phase is designed to match clinical needs and build recovery skills outside overnight residential care. Admissions counselors are available 24/7; PHP itself is daytime treatment and does not include overnight hospitalization.
Confidential Admissions Call
The admissions team discusses current substance use, mental health concerns, withdrawal risk, treatment history, medications, insurance, and immediate safety needs.
Clinical Assessment
A qualified professional reviews the person’s needs and determines whether PHP or another level of care is appropriate.
Individualized Treatment Plan
The clinical team develops treatment goals based on substance use, mental health symptoms, medical needs, family concerns, relapse risks, and recovery goals.
Structured Day Treatment
Clients participate in scheduled therapy, recovery education, clinical support, and care coordination.
Ongoing Progress Reviews
The treatment team reviews participation, symptoms, safety, recovery progress, and readiness for greater independence.
Step-Down and Continuing Care
When clinically appropriate, clients may transition into IOP, outpatient treatment, alumni support, community recovery resources, or another continuing-care plan.
What Does a Typical Day in PHP Include?
Each treatment day is based on an individualized care plan. The exact schedule and frequency of services can vary according to clinical needs. A typical day may include clinical check-ins, recovery goals, process groups, individual therapy as scheduled, CBT- and DBT-informed coping skills, relapse-prevention education, emotional-regulation work, psychoeducation, psychiatric or medication-management appointments when clinically indicated, case management, trauma-informed treatment when appropriate, experiential services when available, family communication planning, and preparation for step-down care.

Why Choose Northbound
Real-World Practice with Clinical Support
PHP is where clients apply therapeutic tools outside the facility while returning for structured daytime care. Care is clinically supervised during programming hours, with additional medical or psychiatric support when clinically indicated.
Trauma-Informed Options Including EMDR
Trauma can contribute to substance use, emotional distress, and relapse risk for some people. When clinically appropriate, Northbound may incorporate trauma-informed treatment or EMDR into an individualized care plan.
Experiential Recovery Skills
Experiential services such as art, yoga, mindfulness, and meditation may be available alongside clinical programming — offering additional coping tools clients can carry into daily life after PHP.
Faith-Based Recovery Option
For clients whose spirituality is foundational to recovery, Northbound’s faith-centered track can integrate faith principles with evidence-based clinical care when that pathway fits the treatment plan.
Continuity Across Levels of Care
Transitioning levels of care does not have to mean starting over. Where possible, clients maintain therapeutic relationships through PHP so trust, insight, and momentum continue into step-down care.
Daytime Structure and Schedule Clarity
PHP requires a substantial daytime commitment. Full-time work or school may be difficult during this phase of treatment. The admissions team can explain the current program schedule and help determine whether PHP or IOP better fits a person’s clinical needs and responsibilities.

PHP vs. Residential Treatment vs. IOP
The right level of care depends on withdrawal risk, medical and psychiatric stability, recent treatment history, home environment, recovery support, and the ability to remain safe outside treatment hours. Northbound completes a confidential assessment before recommending a level of care.
| Level of Care | Where the Client Stays | Primary Purpose | Common Next Step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential Treatment | At the treatment residence or approved residential setting | Around-the-clock structure with scheduled clinical programming | Often for people who need a protected living environment, overnight support, or greater stabilization |
| Partial Hospitalization Program | At home or in an approved supportive living environment outside treatment hours | Structured daytime programming on most treatment days | Often for medically stable adults who need daily clinical support without overnight hospitalization |
| Intensive Outpatient Program | At home or in an approved living environment | Fewer weekly treatment hours than PHP and greater schedule flexibility | Often for people stable enough to manage more work, school, family, or independent recovery responsibilities |
