You've successfully completed an inpatient treatment program. Now what? Partial hospitalization rehab, or PHP, may be the next step. A less intensive form of recovery, PHP in Palm Springs, California, provides the support you need as you regain independence and put your life back together.
What is PHP Rehab?
So, what is a PHP treatment program? Situated midway between programs that are entirely inpatient and those that are entirely outpatient, PHP rehab is an intensive and structured mental health and addiction treatment that gives you ample support while allowing you to live in your home and community.
PHP rehab's goal is to provide you with a setting that's encouraging and therapeutic during the day. You can participate in a wide range of therapeutic activities and receive thorough addiction care while returning to your own home in the evening and overnight.
PHP rehab is distinct from traditional outpatient care in that it's a little more hands-on and intensive. Instead of attending one individual or group therapy session per day, you attend several. You may also receive medical monitoring and psychiatric support. Your personal program at our Palm Springs rehab is fully customized to your needs and aims to help you integrate back into your community and everyday life.
When is Partial Hospitalization Necessary?
Partial hospitalization can be the right choice for you if either of the following applies:
- You no longer need round-the-clock, full-time inpatient treatment
- You want a higher level of care than what you'd receive from a traditional outpatient program.
PHP can also be the right option if you've been going through outpatient treatment for a while and are finding the transition back into everyday life challenging. Your therapist or treatment provider may recommend moving to PHP if you aren't making progress with outpatient treatment.
Some of the benefits of partial hospitalization include the program's flexibility, sense of community, and ongoing support.
A partial hospitalization program can be right for you, whether you are dealing with substance use disorder, a mental health concern, or both. Some of the conditions that can benefit from the level of care provided by PHP include:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder
- Substance use disorder
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Bipolar disorder
If the following describes you and your situation, consider PHP rehab:
- You're about to exit a residential or inpatient care program and want a structured program to guide you as you reintegrate into your life.
- You have a stable home environment, whether it's in a sober living house, your own apartment, or with a family member or friend you can trust.
- You want structured therapy, but do not need full-time supervision.
PHP Rehab in Palm Springs, CA: What to Expect
Keeping in mind that each person's PHP rehab experience will be customized based on their needs and goals, there are a few things you can expect each PHP to have in common.
During a PHP in Palm Springs, you'll always work with licensed therapists and experienced addiction specialists. Trained and licensed professionals have the knowledge and skills needed to support you and guide you on your path to recovery.
PHP services include a structured daily schedule. While your schedule can be adjusted based on your needs, you can also expect your therapists and other treatment providers to want you to stick to it.
Depending on your needs, your everyday schedule will include the following:
- Individual therapy sessions
- Group sessions
- Relapse prevention training, during which you'll gain the skills you need to respond to potential triggers.
- Medication management
- Dual diagnosis care, if you are dealing with a mental health condition and substance use disorder simultaneously
How long is PHP treatment? The exact answer depends on you, your needs, and your recovery progress. For the most part, you can expect treatment to last for at least 30 days. You may benefit from a longer program, however. It could also be the case that you participate in PHP for 30 days, then transition to a slightly less intensive program for a few more weeks, and so on, until you've fully moved to entirely outpatient care.
