Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) — In-Person, Daily Care for Teens Struggling with Substance Use

Our intensive, in-person Partial Hospitalization Program provides focused daily care for teenagers facing substance use challenges. Designed for youth who need structured support beyond outpatient services but do not require 24/7 inpatient hospitalization, this program combines evidence-based therapy, medical oversight, and family involvement to accelerate recovery and build lasting skills.

What we offer

  • Daily, clinician-led programming that includes individual therapy, group therapy, and skill-building workshops tailored for adolescents.

  • Substance use-specific interventions: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), relapse prevention, and trauma-informed care.

  • Medical and psychiatric monitoring with medication management when needed, coordinated by licensed providers.

  • Family programming and caregiver support to repair relationships, improve communication, and create a safe recovery environment at home.

  • Academic support and school coordination to minimize disruption to education and ease the transition back to school.

  • Peer support and healthy peer connection activities to rebuild social strengths and sober networks.

Who it helps

  • Teens needing intensive daily structure to reduce use, manage cravings, and stabilize mood and behavior.

  • Adolescents transitioning from inpatient care who need continued, high-level support.

  • Teens at high risk of relapse who benefit from medical monitoring and frequent clinical contact.

Program format

  • In-person, daily sessions (typically five days per week) with flexible scheduling to meet school and family needs.

  • Individualized treatment plans with measurable goals and regular progress reviews.

  • Short-term to medium-term lengths of stay based on clinical needs, with clear step-down planning to outpatient or community resources.

Outcomes we aim for

  • Reduced substance use and improved coping skills.

  • Stabilized mental health symptoms and decreased risk of relapse.

  • Stronger family relationships and safer home environments.

  • Re-engagement with school and healthy peer groups.
