Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Immersive Healing, Day by Day
Guided by the Jewish imperative of Pikuach Nefesh (saving a life), our PHP is designed to stabilize, strengthen, and support individuals who need robust structure to overcome addiction or acute mental health challenges.
What is a partial hospitalization program or PHP?
Sometimes, recovery requires pressing "pause" on the outside world to focus entirely on building a foundation of wellness. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), often referred to as "Day Treatment," offers our highest level of outpatient care. It provides the intensive clinical support of a residential facility while allowing you to return home or to a sober living environment each evening.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the step immediately following residential detox or inpatient care, or a preventative step up for those whose needs cannot be met in a standard outpatient setting.
Unlike residential treatment, you do not sleep at the facility. Instead, you attend programming at our center during the day, much like going to work or school, and return to the safety of your home or community housing at night. This model balances intensive therapeutic immersion with the autonomy of living in the community.
The Benefits of PHP
PHP is an ideal solution for people requiring significant medical and clinical oversight with a stable living situation. Key benefits include:
- High Structure: With full days of scheduled programming, PHP minimizes "idle time," which can often be a trigger in early recovery.
- Intensive Therapy: The increased hours allow for deeper work in group and individual therapy, accelerating the healing process.
- Family Involvement: Because you remain in your community, family therapy and support can be integrated more frequently and effectively.
- Cost Efficiency: PHP provides hospital-level clinical care at a significantly lower cost than inpatient residential treatment.
How Does PHP Work?
An evidence-based process for recovery
Our PHP is rigorous and comprehensive, designed to stabilize your physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
1. The Schedule
Participants typically attend programming 3 days per week for approximately 5 hours per session. The duration of the program varies based on individual progress.
Our current IOP program meets on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9am - 2pm.
We currently limit participation in our IOP program to adults ages 18+
2. Clinical Modalities
You will engage in a diverse range of evidence-based therapies, including:
- Daily Group Therapy (Process groups and psychoeducation)
- Individual Therapy sessions
- Life Skills and Relapse Prevention Planning
3. The Spiritual Component
We believe that spiritual health is vital to recovery. Our program includes:
- A healthy, strictly Kosher lunch and snacks are provided daily to nourish the body.
- Access to Rabbinical support and spiritual counseling.
- Groups focused on spirituality in recovery.
- Sensitivity to the Jewish calendar, Sabbath, and other religious holidays (no programming on Shabbat).
- You do not have to be Jewish to attend and we honor all faith practices

We strongly encourage family involvement. Addiction affects the whole family unit, and recovery is most successful when the family heals together. We offer family support groups and family therapy sessions as part of the PHP curriculum.
While many clients come to us via referral from a detox center or therapist, you can also contact us directly. Our admissions team provides a free, confidential assessment to determine if PHP is the right level of care for your specific needs.
The main difference is where you sleep. In Residential Treatment, you live at the facility 24/7. In PHP, you spend your days in treatment but sleep at home. PHP is often used as a "step-down" to help transition from Residential care back into the real world.
Generally, no. Because PHP operates during standard business hours (Tuesday–Thursday), most participants take a medical leave of absence from work or school to focus fully on their recovery. If you need to maintain a work schedule, our IOP might be a better fit.
We view relapse as a sign that the treatment plan needs adjustment, not as a moral failure. If a relapse occurs, our clinical team will evaluate your safety and may recommend a temporary higher level of care (like detox or residential) before you return to this level of care.
Your privacy is paramount. We adhere to strict HIPAA confidentiality laws. Unless you sign a release of information specifically allowing us to speak to your employer, we cannot confirm or deny your presence in our program.
In most cases, yes. Because PHP is an evidence-based medical treatment, most major insurance carriers cover it. Our admissions team can verify your benefits for you confidentially.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is more intensive, often requiring 5 to 6 hours of treatment daily, five days a week. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is less time-intensive (usually 9 hours per week) and is often the next step down after completing a PHP.
No. Our center is a judgment-free zone open to Jews of all backgrounds—secular, reform, conservative, or orthodox—as well as non-Jewish individuals seeking high-quality care. We respect where you are in your spiritual journey.
