How Our PHP Works

When we say “This is our highest level of care,” we mean it. In our PHP, you’ll be here from Monday through Friday, five days a week, for six to eight hours a day. While in the program, your focus is on your recovery entirely. You won’t go to work, you won’t go to school, instead, you’ll come here and receive treatment that offers far more than traditional outpatient programs provide.

Intensive Treatment With Extensive Benefits

As intensive as our PHP is, it is still an outpatient program. At the end of the day, you’ll go home to your bed, to your home, to your family, to your support system. Indeed, that’s one of the more popular benefits of our PHP: you can take steps forward on the journey of recovery, all while spending the nights surrounded by those who matter most to you in the place you are most comfortable.

What PHP Can Treat

In our experience, those who are best served by our PHP are dealing with mental health disorders, an alcohol use disorder, a substance use disorder, or a combination of those. We offer “dual diagnosis” treatment, which treats mental health struggles and addiction simultaneously. 

Our PHP treatment is not for everyone. Some will not be a great fit for it. However, we’ve found that for many, this is exactly the treatment they need. When you reach out to us, we’ll conduct a thorough evaluation of your health, history, and more. From there, we’ll help you to choose the right level of care for your needs and create an individualized treatment plan.

Individualized PHP Treatments

Each person is different, with different struggles as well as strengths. So, no two people will have the same treatment plan. That said, everyone will receive evidence-based treatments from our experienced professionals. 

For example, just about every treatment plan includes cognitive behavioral therapy. This treatment, like others, will focus on helping you to discover the underlying causes and traumas driving your addiction and mental health struggles. Along the way, you’ll also replace negative behaviors with new, positive ones, which can empower you to better handle triggers as well as day-to-day life after you complete our PHP. 

Of course, CGT is just one of the many treatments that can make up a PHP. Your treatment may include group therapy, art therapy, workshops with your family, and even a focus on education, yoga, meditation, mindfulness, as well as others.

Advanced Medications and Treatments

To further personalize treatment plans for those in our PHP, we offer medical management of effective medications. By doing so, we can help our patients to better navigate avoiding relapse. For example, Suboxone and Vivitrol are both powerful drugs that can help the body to reduce cravings for drugs and alcohol. Through proper administration, we can make sure our patients are safe and comfortable as they receive these medications so as to achieve the full benefit with minimal downsides. 

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) can also help with depression and potentially other mental health concerns. A noninvasive treatment with minimal side effects, it could help with even treatment-resistant depression.

What a Day at Our PHP Can Be Like

While there’s no such thing as a “typical” day at our PHP, during a majority of them, you’ll most likely have both individual and group counseling sessions as well as holistic treatments.  There will be extensive psychoeducational lessons, helping you to build and exercise skills that can serve you now and in the future. 

Your program will not just be tailored to you at the onset, it will also be updated as you progress. That way, you’ll always receive what’s most effective in helping you heal at every step. We even find time to fit a meal in, too.

We’re Here to Help

This program can be challenging. But, it’s worth it. In our PHP, there will be times when we will ask you to confront your substance use disorder, your mental health issues, that which brought you to us. That will be difficult. It may make you feel vulnerable. But, through it, you can truly begin to heal. Moreover, you can heal in a lasting way. To start the process or to learn more, message us through our site or call.
