A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive outpatient treatment option for mental health and substance abuse issues. It provides structured, comprehensive care during the day—typically 4 to 8 hours per session, 3 to 5 days a week—without requiring an overnight stay. Unlike full inpatient hospitalization, which offers 24/7 monitoring, PHP allows participants to apply learned skills in real-world settings each evening, promoting independence and integration into everyday routines.

PHPs are recognized by healthcare providers and insurers as a key level of care in the continuum of behavioral health services. They are often used as a step-down from residential treatment or as an alternative for those whose symptoms are severe but not life-threatening enough to warrant full hospitalization. At NewVision Wellness, our PHP focuses on personalized treatment plans that address co-occurring disorders, such as depression alongside addiction, ensuring a tailored path to healing.

Who Can Benefit from PHP?

PHP is ideal for a wide range of individuals seeking mental health or substance abuse support. It's particularly suited for those who:

• Have recently completed inpatient treatment and need continued intensive care to prevent relapse.

• Experience moderate to severe symptoms of conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, or substance use disorders (e.g., alcohol, opioids, or stimulants) but are stable enough to live at home.

• Require more structure than weekly therapy sessions but less than round-the-clock supervision.

• Are adolescents or adults facing challenges that impact daily functioning, such as school, work, or relationships.

Eligibility typically involves a clinical assessment to ensure safety and appropriateness. Contraindications might include acute suicidal ideation, severe medical instability, or active psychosis requiring hospitalization. At NewVision Wellness, we conduct thorough evaluations to determine if PHP aligns with your needs, often recommending it for those transitioning from higher levels of care or stepping up from less intensive outpatient programs.

Our program welcomes diverse participants, including young adults, professionals, and families. For adolescents, PHP can address issues like self-harm, eating disorders, or peer-related substance use, providing a safe space for growth without disrupting education.

Benefits of PHP at NewVision Wellness

Enrolling in our PHP offers numerous advantages, blending clinical expertise with flexibility:

1. Intensive Support Without Disruption: Receive daily therapy and medical oversight while sleeping in your own bed, maintaining family bonds and responsibilities. This structure reduces the isolation often felt in inpatient settings.

2. Comprehensive Treatment Modalities: Our program includes evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), group sessions, and mindfulness practices, addressing root causes of mental health and addiction issues.

3. Cost-Effectiveness: PHP is generally more affordable than inpatient care, with many insurance plans covering it as an outpatient service. At NewVision Wellness, we work with major providers to minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

4. Skill-Building for Long-Term Success: Participants learn relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and healthy coping mechanisms, leading to higher sustained recovery rates.

5. Community and Peer Support: Group activities foster connections, reducing stigma and building a network of encouragement.

6. Medical Integration: On-site access to psychiatrists for medication management ensures holistic care, especially for those with dual diagnoses.

Studies show PHP participants often experience reduced symptoms, improved functioning, and lower readmission rates compared to those in less structured programs.
