Partial Care, also known as Partial Hospitalization. PHP or day treatment is considered to be one of the clinical foundations of evidence-based treatment practices. The Partial Hospitalization Program at Valley Spring Recovery Center meets Monday through Friday 9 am to 3 pm. We also sometimes offer makeup sessions on Saturdays.
Many patients who aren’t able to live at home stay in one of the sober living that we have a working relationship with. You can see pictures of the sober living we recommend on our sober living page. PHP is an intensive form of treatment where patients are able to partake in multiple different types of therapies and also meet with nurse practitioners as well as our Medical Director, Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Olla for medication management and medication-assisted treatment.
We work very closely with hospitals, medical detoxes and inpatient rehab centers to transition patients seamlessly and provide a full continuum of care once that level of medical oversight is no longer required.

Our partial care program is a hybrid level of care where clients can participate in intensive, highly focused treatment while staying at home or in a sober living setting. Rather than living in an inpatient hospital setting around the clock, clients arrive for treatment in the morning and return home in the afternoon. This provides them with the opportunity to continue addressing underlying issues that may have resulted in substance use disorder in the first place, partake in relapse prevention planning, medication management while experiencing more freedoms that aren’t afforded in a residential setting.

In comparison to alternative levels of care, partial care provides more flexibility while delivering inpatient-level care, allowing clients to work, go to school, and manage daily responsibilities without sacrificing their commitment to personal well-being. Partial care programs also enable clients to actively practice their recovery techniques in the real world. They’ll encounter stressors, triggers, and obstacles but learn how to work through and overcome them in a safe and supportive ecosystem.
In particularly challenging situations, clients will have the support and guidance of their care teams to help them remain accountable and develop the self-awareness and confidence needed to move forward. By combining the flexibility of independent living with the support and structure of quality care, Valley Springs Recovery empowers clients to achieve lasting recovery through consistent development and refinement of the skills achieved in our evidence-based practices.
Where inpatient rehabs require full-time residential care, partial care programs and intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) allow a patient the option to either live at one of our supportive off-site sober living homes or commute from home while undergoing treatment during the center’s clinical hours.
What Is A Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a type of program used in the field of mental health to provide intensive, structured care for individuals who are dealing with mental health disorders, but do not require 24/7 hospitalization. PHPs are sometimes referred to as “day programs.” Through this treatment option, you can participate in treatment sessions during the day and return to your home at night. This treatment can be highly beneficial for those who have supportive family members at home and responsibilities that they must maintain during the week.
These programs typically operate during the day, often five days a week for several hours each day. Individuals in these programs go home at night, which can be beneficial as it allows them to maintain some aspects of their normal routine and home life. This structure also provides a gradual transition from inpatient (full hospitalization) care to outpatient care.
PHPs offer a variety of services including, but not limited to:
- Group therapy: This allows individuals to connect with others who are going through similar experiences.
- Individual therapy: One-on-one sessions with mental health professionals can help individuals process their experiences and develop coping strategies.
- Family therapy: This helps to improve communication and resolve conflicts within the family.
- Psychoeducational classes: These classes provide information about mental health conditions, treatment options, and strategies for managing symptoms.
- Medication management: This involves the careful monitoring and administration of medications to ensure that they are taken correctly and are effectively supporting an individual’s recovery.

What to Expect During Our Partial Hospitalization Program
PHP level of care is our most intensive treatment track. The PHP program consists of 5 hours of clinical services five days per week. During treatment, clients participate in four daily group therapy sessions and individual therapy at least once per week. In addition, all clients meet with our medical director weekly to discuss medication management, should the use of medications help during the recovery process.
Clients are served lunch between groups and can participate in weekly recovery outings as well. PHP is the recommended level of care for all people starting their treatment. Early in recovery, it’s essential to have the most support possible in order to help build a strong foundation for recovery.
FAQ
How Long Does PHP Last?
PHP typically lasts for at least 30 days. Individuals come to treatment 5x per week for most of the day but are able to have the comfort of returning home to their own home or sober living residence.
Is PHP Less Intensive Than Inpatient Rehab?
In some ways, PHP is less intense than rehab since there is less medical care that occurs in PHP. However, the level of therapy is intensive and the amount of time is enough to have deep healing.
Are You A Good Fit For PHP In New Jersey?
If you can abstain from drug or alcohol use outside of an inpatient rehab center, but need continued support, then PHP might be the right option for you. You may enroll in the program directly after completing a detox or residential program, or you may enroll in PHP without residential care if it is determined to be medically appropriate.
PHP provides continued support on a daily basis which is intensive, but patients still live off-site. As a result, PHP may not be suitable for individuals with life-threatening medical conditions, psychiatric issues, or at risk of harming themselves or others.
How will I know if partial care is a good fit for me?
This stage of treatment serves as a step towards returning to everyday life without significantly minimizing the level of care.
Other patients may require substance abuse treatment but are not able to commit to an inpatient program regime.
PHP provides flexibility and balance between clinical support and personal life, unlike any alternative level of care. Partial care creates an environment for patients to learn, apply, and hone the evidence-based skills and techniques that provide an opportunity for a healthy, sustainable life in recovery.
Determining whether you could benefit from a partial hospitalization program doesn’t have to be challenging. The first step that you should take is to talk to our addiction treatment admissions team. They will provide a formal assessment to determine what level of treatment is right for your needs. For instance, we may recommend a partial hospitalization program if you meet these criteria:
- You are medically stable.
- You’re not at risk of harming others or yourself.
- You have difficulty functioning at school, work, or home.
- You’re motivated to engage in our treatment program.
- You’re experiencing co-occurring substance use disorders and mental health concerns.
- You have sufficient support in your home life.
Our evaluation doesn’t just determine what level of care you need. It also allows us to choose what therapeutic options could be part of your treatment program.

What is the difference from PHP and IOP addiction treatment?
Partial hospitalization, also known as PHP, is a type of program used to treat mental illness and substance abuse. In partial hospitalization, the patient continues to reside at home but commutes to a treatment center up to seven days a week for 6 hours per day.
IOP also known as intensive outpatient treatment is a type of program used to treat mental illness and substance use disorder that meets less frequently than PHP and thus is a less intensive form of therapy that meets on an outpatient basis up to 5 days per week for 3 hours per day.
