A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive, structured treatment option for individuals facing significant mental health and substance use challenges who do not require 24-hour medical supervision. PHP bridges the gap between inpatient hospitalization and traditional outpatient care by offering a comprehensive schedule of therapy, medical monitoring, and support services during the day, while allowing participants to return home or to a comfortable residential setting each evening. This approach ensures continuity of care, reduces the risk of relapse, and promotes sustained recovery for a wide range of individuals, including those in early recovery from addiction, individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders, and couples seeking to heal together.
One of the hallmarks of PHPs is their flexibility. Participants engage in multiple hours of therapy and related services each day—often five to six days per week—while still maintaining connections with family, work, or school. This balance supports real-world application of new coping skills, reduces isolation, and encourages gradual reintegration into everyday life. At Trinity Behavioral Health, our PHP is designed to address the full spectrum of needs, from clinical treatment to emotional support, in a setting that fosters healing without the constraints of overnight hospitalization.

Healing Together: Couples Stay, Room, and Heal as One
At Trinity Behavioral Health, we understand that recovery can be profoundly strengthened by the support of a loved one. That’s why our PHP offers a unique option for couples to stay together, room together, and heal together. Rather than separating partners into different treatment tracks, we encourage shared experiences—meals, therapy sessions, and group activities—so couples can support each other through every step of the recovery process.
-
Shared accommodation: Couples can opt for private rooms designed to foster a comfortable and safe environment for healing.
-
Joint activities: From art therapy workshops to mindfulness exercises, partners participate side by side, reinforcing their bond and learning effective communication strategies.
-
Mutual accountability: By navigating challenges and successes together, couples build trust and empathy, laying a strong foundation for long-term wellness.
This approach respects the importance of personal relationships in recovery and aligns with research showing that social support is a key predictor of treatment success.
Dedicated Couples Therapy with Specialized Counselors
While shared experiences are vital, every individual also deserves personalized care. In our PHP, each couple receives a socially designated couples therapist—separate from their individual therapists and drug and alcohol counselors—to focus exclusively on the dynamics of their relationship. This ensures that both partners benefit from expert guidance without compromising the confidentiality and tailored attention they receive in individual therapy.
-
Specialized couples therapist: A licensed professional trained in evidence-based modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Couples Therapy (CBCT).
-
Individual support: Outside of couples therapy, each person meets regularly with their own therapist to address personal triggers, coping strategies, and mental health needs.
-
Integrated care team: Couples therapists coordinate closely with medical staff, addiction specialists, and individual counselors to create a cohesive treatment plan that honors both personal and shared goals.
This dual-track system balances the needs of partnership with individual healing, helping couples rebuild trust and develop healthier communication patterns.
Comprehensive Coverage Through Your PPO Insurance
One common concern for prospective participants is the cost of treatment. At Trinity Behavioral Health, we work closely with most PPO insurance providers to ensure that your treatment—including stay, meals, medication, therapy services, medical visits, and fun sober activities—is covered. Our experienced admissions team manages the insurance verification process, reducing your administrative burden and allowing you to focus on healing.
-
Pre-authorization support: We initiate claims and communicate with your insurance to secure timely approvals.
-
Inclusive services: From group therapy and art sessions to pet friendly outdoor excursions, many components of our PHP are billable under standard PPO plans.
-
Transparent billing: We provide clear estimates of any out-of-pocket costs up front, so there are no surprises during your journey to wellness.
With insurance on your side, investing in comprehensive care becomes more accessible, empowering you to commit fully to the recovery process.
