A partial hospitalization program, or PHP rehab, is an effective treatment that can help you recover from drug addiction. Although it sounds clinical, PHP doesn’t have to take place in a hospital. In fact, many people are more likely to follow through with their treatment in a facility that’s luxurious or feels like home. PHP rehabilitation is a great way to transition from residential treatment to aftercare or to begin treatment in an intensive environment.
WHAT IS A PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM?
When you attend a partial hospitalization program, you spend several hours a day at the rehab facility. You may get medical drug and alcohol addiction treatment if it’s necessary. You’ll participate in support groups and meet with your therapist.
You’ll do everything that you would do in a residential program. However, you’ll return home at the end of the day.
You must be committed to recovery to make a PHP work for you. If you have trouble resisting your cravings or stay away from a destructive social circle when you go home, you might need additional support. Those who want to take on a little more responsibility and independence as they move from rehab to their life in recovery will usually benefit from a PHP.
People who have trouble creating a schedule for themselves can also benefit from this type of rehab. They wake up in the morning and make their way to the center, where they have a precise routine that they can follow during the day. Guests are encouraged to develop positive habits surrounding self-care, communication, and self-reflection so that they can continue their journey independently when they feel ready.
PHP REHAB VS. INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS
Some people wonder about the difference between a partial hospitalization program and intensive outpatient rehab, or IOP. Both options allow you to live at home while undergoing treatment at the rehab center. A PHP tends to offer more structure and routine than an IOP or outpatient rehab.
The clear-cut schedule takes away the guesswork that some people have when they’re building a life after substance abuse. No one will force you to go to the rehab center every day. Your commitment and determination prompt you to follow through with your treatment.
When you’re responsible for your motivation, you also establish better intrinsic rewards. You foster a sense of pride through the ownership of your actions. You begin to see that you do have the power to find fulfillment in life and stay clean.
Eventually, you can step down your level of care and participate in an IOP. Some people can progress straight to life at home while continuing to attend support groups and aftercare services.
