What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program for Substance Use Disorder?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a form of addiction treatment that provides intensive outpatient care for veterans and military service members. This hospital-based program offers a higher level of support and structure than traditional outpatient services, allowing clients to return home every night after a full day of care.

Our Day/Night program is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of veterans and military service members who may be transitioning from active duty to civilian life or dealing with the aftereffects of their military service; aims to help veterans reintegrate into their everyday lives while still receiving the necessary support and treatment.

In a Partial Hospitalization Program, veterans and military service members receive comprehensive addiction treatment and mental health support, which may include individual therapy sessions, group therapy, family therapy, and medication management. These programs also often prioritize addressing co-occurring mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other invisible wounds associated with military service.

By offering this level of care, a PHP ensures that veterans and military service members receive the intensive support they need to successfully navigate their recovery while also allowing them to maintain their responsibilities and connections in their everyday lives.
