When it comes to treatment, there are many different options available that are tailored to meet the needs of an individual and the severity of their addiction. It’s extremely important to find a professional treatment center that offers completely customized treatment plans when it comes to fighting addiction. At Banyan Treatment Center in Chicago, we want to share with you the many benefits of partial hospitalization programs and the type of people who should consider this treatment option.

Our admissions coordinators are available 24/7 to answer any questions you may have as you consider whether treatment at Banyan is right for you or your loved one.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, is a type of treatment method that provides intensive care without the residential or inpatient aspect. This treatment program includes the same intensity as a residential recovery treatment program but allows for the individual to transition back into everyday life and take a break from the aggressive treatment.
The PHP Process
Before being enrolled, the patient will undergo an extensive clinical assessment that will effectively determine which treatment options will be most effective. This assessment will provide valuable information to our team of professionals to ensure that partial hospitalization is best suited to the patient's individual needs.
Once officially enrolled, patients will spend 8 hours of their day engaging in various programs and treatments. This takes place for 5 to 7 days a week, during which patients are given the tools to obtain and maintain successful sobriety. Through extensive one-on-one sessions and support groups, the patient will be able to practice self-discovery and social connections, respectively.
Every session is managed by a staff member specially certified for that specific program. Banyan boasts an excellent client-to-staff ratio that will give our counselors the opportunity to really learn about the unique case of each person that walks through our doors. We also offer dual diagnosis care that can comprehensively address the simultaneous presence of addiction and mental illness.
Partial Hospitalization Benefits
A patient can benefit from participating in Banyan’s PHP treatment avenue. It provides the best of both worlds for our patients that find themselves stuck in the middle of their personal treatment needs. Below are some of the ways that PHP participation can benefit a patient.
Community Matters
Banyan understands the importance of fostering a supportive community for all our patients. These communities provide a space for empathy, compassion, and understanding among individuals that have many shared experiences. By giving participants the chance to attend frequent support groups and group therapy sessions, they can make unique connections with their peers that will uphold their sobriety for years to come.
We also hope that patients will see the benefits of communal support during times of stress and challenges. For instance, if a person is not comfortable with returning to their own homes at night, they will be able to reside at an approved sober living facility somewhere in the area. These facilities grant residents a home-like environment without the presence of potential relapse triggers. Additionally, there will be 24-hour staff supervision along with a support system of peers that can aid in upholding the lessons taught throughout treatment.
Flexibility and Intensity
A partial hospitalization program is perfect for someone that is ready to transition into the realities of daily living after the detoxification process has been completed. Individuals who need more freedom and space than what a residential program requires will benefit from PHP and will continue to receive drug and alcohol addiction treatment. Even though there is flexibility in terms of the controlled environment, everyone undergoing this treatment will still receive an intense and rigorous plan that is customized to their needs.
This customization is possible through the various therapeutic methods that are available to accentuate each patient’s unique healing process. Banyan boasts an impressive regimen of programs that ensures all participants are engaged in their own recovery. While clinical approaches such as cognitive or dialectical behavioral therapy aid patients in addressing the harmful effects of their actions and necessary acknowledgments of past traumas, our art therapy programs help to balance that heaviness out by using color and creativity.
Smooth Transition From Residential Care
For anyone who just completed an intensive inpatient treatment program, a partial hospitalization program is a natural transition to the next level of care. The change from 24/7 monitoring to being more independent during our Chicago IOP can be overwhelming and challenging. This is the next step in the recovery process and a way to provide an easy transition for those who are used to around-the-clock care.
Our staff will do everything in their power to uphold the pillars of support that are necessary to overcome addiction. Upon entering this program, there is a great deal of emphasis placed on reestablishing the patient’s sense of personal agency in a way that is not forcibly extreme. Sobriety is a process, and it truly needs to be taken one day at a time. We opt to stay engaged with how a person is responding to treatment, and if something is not working, we believe in reevaluating and making sure that everyone is steady on their path to success.
