Partial Hospitalization Program for Addiction Treatment
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A partial hospitalization program is the most intensive level of outpatient substance use disorder treatment.
Patients attend many hours of structured therapy during the day, then return to a safe home environment at night. That makes a safe, supportive home a key requirement for PHP, it’s what allows the intensive daytime care to work.
Therapies Delivered in PHP
▪ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
▪ Motivational Interviewing (MI) and psychoeducation
▪ Family therapy
▪ Group and individual sessions throughout the day
In our Hollywood, Florida PHP, therapies may be utilized in both group and individual settings, providing comprehensive treatment resources.
When exploring if a PHP is right for you or your loved one, it is important to also consider your or your loved one’s current home environment. Since patients live at home while participating in a partial hospitalization program, it is crucial to have a supportive and safe home environment.3
If you or your loved one does not have a safe or supportive home environment, our inpatient rehab program in Hollywood, FL may be a preferred option.
If you still want to participate in an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab program but need a safe residence, you may be able to stay in a sober living home near Miami and attend formal treatment during the day.
PHP vs. IOP: What’s the Difference?
Partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are both flexible treatment options that don’t require you to stay at our outpatient treatment facility in Hollywood, FL. The two main differences between PHPs and standard outpatient are intensity of services and time commitment.2
IOPs require about 9 hours per week minimum, while partial hospitalization programs can require 20 hours per week minimum. Furthermore, partial hospitalization programs are more rigorous and offer more intensive care that is a closer match to what may be offered in residential programs.
Since an IOP requires fewer weekly treatment hours in a less intensive program, many individuals use it as part of a “step-down” process after completing a PHP to make transitioning back into daily life a smoother process.2

Does Health Insurance Cover Partial Hospitalization Programs?
Many health insurance plans cover partial hospitalization programs. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), substance use disorders are now included as an essential health benefit in all marketplace plans in Florida, and coverage is expanded in many insurance plans outside the marketplace as well.9
Coverage varies by individual plans and whether or not the insurance is in-network. If you are unsure what your insurance coverage for addiction treatment is, fill out this to verify your benefits with Recovery First.
How Much Does PHP Rehab Cost Without Insurance?
Costs for PHP rehab varies based on several factors, including length of time in the partial hospitalization program, type of services obtained, and location.
A PHP can be a cost-effective method of addiction treatment because it has been found to be similar to inpatient drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs in regard to behavioral therapy services offered, but without the additional expense of living at the facility.
If you are uninsured, don’t let that stop you from seeking help. Our PHP rehab staff work with each individual to find ways to pay for addiction treatment that work for you.
