Partial Hospitalization Program for Substance Use
Asking for help takes courage. At Milton Jefferson Recovery, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Substance Use Disorder is designed to meet that courage with exceptional care. Patients receive evidence-based treatment throughout the day and return home each evening, building the skills and confidence that make recovery last without stepping away from the life they are working to reclaim.
The Benefits of a Partial Hospitalization Program for Addiction
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) plays a key role in addiction treatment. It’s a good fit for people who have finished medical detox or inpatient rehab, or who need strong clinical support with flexibility to manage their daily responsibilities. PHP provides structured care to help people make real, lasting progress in their recovery.
Intensive Support Without Full Hospitalization: PHP typically runs five to seven days a week during daytime hours. Patients visit the facility to participate in therapy for four to eight hours, then go home. This allows them to stay connected to their home and community.
Consistent Clinical Check-Ins: Our team of clinical and support professionals check in with patients regularly throughout the program. This ensures that medications, therapy, and treatment plans are always working in each patient’s best interest.
A Structured Path to Independence: PHP helps patients begin practicing recovery in everyday life. Each evening at home is a chance to use the coping skills built during the day, strengthening the habits and self-trust that lasting sobriety requires.
Seamless Continuity of Care: PHP is a natural next step for patients leaving inpatient care, and a strong starting point for those who need more structured support. Either way, it keeps recovery moving forward at a critical time.
What to Expect in a PHP for Substance Use Disorder
Milton Jefferson Recovery’s PHP is built around structure, support, and a clear path forward. The patient experience at Milton Jefferson Recovery will include:
Comprehensive Intake Evaluation
Every patient starts with a thorough assessment. Our clinical team takes the time to understand each person’s history with substance use, any co-occurring mental health conditions, personal goals, and current challenges. Treatment plans are built around the individual because no two people’s needs are the same.
A Balanced Therapy Schedule
Every day may include a mix of individual therapy, group therapy, educational workshops, skill-building activities, and holistic programming. This structure creates routine and accountability, giving patients a healthy framework while maintaining space for life to happen.
Skill Development & Relapse Prevention
Throughout the program, patients develop practical skills. These include healthy ways to handle stress, tools for rebuilding relationships, and strategies for recognizing and responding to relapse warning signs early.
Transition Planning
As patients naturally progress out of PHP, our team works with them to plan the next step, like moving to an Intensive Outpatient Program. Patients move forward with a clear plan, continued access to therapy and medication support, as well as the community they built during treatment. Our support does not stop when the program is completed.
Evidence-Based Therapies Used in Our Partial Hospitalization Program
At Milton Jefferson Recovery, strong clinical care and genuine human connection go hand in hand. Our partial hospitalization program for substance use brings together a team of care providers, all focused on each patient’s personal treatment plan. The therapies we use are grounded in research and chosen to support meaningful change, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps patients recognize and change the thoughts and behaviors that fuel substance use. Patients learn practical tools for managing stress, cravings, and other triggers they may face in daily life.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT gives patients concrete skills for managing intense emotions. It is especially helpful for individuals who experience emotional highs and lows that can make recovery harder to sustain.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): MI is a collaborative, conversation-based approach that helps patients explore their own reasons for change. It builds internal motivation and strengthens commitment to recovery at a pace that feels right for each individual.
- Schema Therapy: Schema therapy helps patients identify deep-rooted patterns of thinking and behavior that may have developed early in life and contributed to substance use.
- Group Therapy: In group sessions, patients connect with others who understand what recovery feels like from the inside. With a therapist leading the way, patients build communication skills and find support in shared experience.
- Psychoeducation: Learning about addiction is a key part of recovery. Psychoeducation covers topics like how addiction works, how to prevent relapse, and how to spot early warning signs before old patterns take hold.
- Holistic Modalities: Healing involves the whole person. Milton Jefferson Recovery weaves holistic practices into the program to support physical and emotional well-being alongside clinical care.
