What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

At Helping Hearts Recovery, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides comprehensive, intensive mental health care without the need for overnight hospital stays. Ideal for individuals requiring more support than standard outpatient therapy, PHP offers structured care designed specifically around your individual needs.

A Partial Hospitalization Program is an intensive outpatient treatment model where you attend several hours of therapy and structured support each day without overnight hospital admission. PHP bridges the gap between inpatient hospitalization and outpatient therapy, offering rigorous treatment while allowing you to return home each evening.

Who Can Benefit from PHP?

PHP is beneficial if you:

  • Require intensive daily support but not 24-hour supervision.

  • Need more comprehensive care than your regular therapist or doctor provides.

  • Are transitioning from inpatient care to daily life.

At Helping Hearts Recovery, we tailor PHPs to condition-specific needs, including:

  • Anxiety disorders

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

  • Bipolar disorder

  • Major depression

  • Eating disorders

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

  • Substance use disorders

  • Suicidal thoughts or attempts
