PHP/DAY TREATMENT
Addiction PHP & Day Treatment for Structured Drug and Alcohol Recovery
Trinity Behavioral Health's Partial Hospitalization Program provides structured addiction treatment for people who need more support than an Intensive Outpatient Program but do not require 24-hour residential treatment.
PHP allows clients to participate in intensive drug and alcohol treatment during scheduled program hours while living outside the treatment facility.
The appropriate level of addiction treatment depends on substance use, withdrawal risk, medical and mental-health needs, safety, treatment history, current functioning, and clinical assessment.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program for Addiction?
SAMHSA describes partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs as outpatient treatment that can include individual appointments, group sessions, coping-skills education, and more coordinated care than standard outpatient visits.
Who May Benefit From Addiction PHP?
PHP may be considered when a person needs substantial addiction-treatment structure but does not require a 24-hour residential setting.
What Happens During Drug & Alcohol PHP?
Individual Therapy
One-on-one addiction therapy can focus on substance-use patterns, treatment goals, triggers, coping strategies, relationships, and continued recovery.
Group Therapy
Structured groups can provide treatment education, skill development, peer interaction, and opportunities to practice recovery strategies.
Behavioral Treatment
Evidence-based behavioral approaches can help people identify patterns connected to substance use and develop healthier responses to triggers and stress.
Relapse Prevention
Treatment can help identify warning signs, high-risk situations, coping strategies, and a plan for maintaining recovery outside program hours.
Recovery Skills
PHP can provide structured opportunities to build communication, emotional regulation, stress-management, and day-to-day recovery skills.
Continued Care Planning
The treatment plan can include preparation for the next appropriate level of care as clinical needs change.
What's the Difference Between PHP and Residential Rehab?
Trinity's current page states that residential treatment provides 24-hour care and room and board, while PHP clients do not reside onsite at the treatment facility.
Residential treatment therefore provides a living environment as part of care, while PHP provides intensive daytime addiction treatment with clients leaving the facility after scheduled programming.
PHP Is Still Intensive Treatment
Trinity's current page states that PHP requires more visits and sessions per week than IOP. The fact that clients do not live onsite does not mean PHP is the same as ordinary weekly outpatient therapy.
PHP vs. IOP vs. Residential Addiction Treatment
| Level | General Structure | May Be Considered When |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Rehab | Clients reside at the treatment setting with around-the-clock structure. | A higher level of support and a residential recovery environment are clinically appropriate. |
| PHP / Day Treatment | Intensive scheduled addiction treatment without residing onsite. | More structure is needed than IOP but residential living is not required. |
| IOP | Structured outpatient addiction treatment with fewer treatment hours than PHP. | Continued intensive support is appropriate with greater flexibility outside treatment. |

PHP / Day Treatment Frequently Asked Questions
What does PHP mean in addiction treatment?
PHP stands for Partial Hospitalization Program. It is an intensive outpatient level of addiction treatment that provides more structure than IOP without requiring clients to live at the treatment facility.
Is addiction PHP inpatient or outpatient?
PHP is generally considered an intensive outpatient level of care because clients participate in scheduled treatment and leave the treatment setting outside program hours rather than residing there 24 hours a day.
Is PHP more intensive than IOP?
Yes. Trinity's current PHP / Day Treatment page states that PHP requires more visits and sessions per week than its Intensive Outpatient Program.
Is PHP less intensive than residential rehab?
Trinity describes PHP as less intensive than full inpatient or residential rehab. Residential clients live at the facility, while PHP clients do not reside onsite.
Do I live at Trinity during PHP?
No. Trinity's current page specifically states that PHP patients do not reside onsite at the facility during treatment and can arrange their own housing accommodations.
What happens during addiction PHP?
PHP may include individual treatment, group sessions, behavioral therapy, recovery education, coping-skills work, relapse-prevention planning, and other services determined by the treatment plan.
Does PHP include group therapy?
Group treatment is common in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs. SAMHSA identifies group sessions as one component that can be included in this level of care.
Can PHP help after residential rehab?
PHP can sometimes serve as a step-down level of care after residential treatment when a person still needs substantial clinical structure but no longer requires a 24-hour residential setting. The treatment team should determine whether that transition is appropriate.
What is the difference between PHP and ordinary outpatient therapy?
Standard outpatient treatment may involve periodic appointments. PHP provides substantially more scheduled treatment time and greater coordination than ordinary outpatient visits.
Can behavioral therapy help with drug or alcohol addiction?
Yes. NIDA identifies counseling and behavioral therapies as commonly used forms of substance-use treatment, while NIAAA describes behavioral treatments as evidence-based options for alcohol use disorder.
Can medications be part of addiction PHP?
Medication treatment may be appropriate for certain substance-use disorders, including alcohol and opioid use disorders. Medication decisions depend on diagnosis, clinical need, and qualified medical evaluation.
How is the right level of addiction treatment determined?
Treatment intensity should be based on substance use, withdrawal risk, medical and mental-health needs, safety, current functioning, previous treatment, recovery environment, and clinical assessment.
Does Trinity accept PPO insurance for PHP?
Trinity's website states that it accepts most PPO insurance plans and offers benefits verification. Coverage, authorization, network status, and out-of-pocket responsibility depend on the individual insurance plan and clinical requirements.
