Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in New Jersey
A Full Day of Therapeutic Support, Without 24/7 Residential Care
For many individuals, weekly therapy or standard outpatient care isn’t enough to interrupt relapse patterns, regulate mental health symptoms, or rebuild consistency.
Partial Hospitalization offers daily clinical support while allowing clients to practice recovery in the real world, with guidance, accountability, and medical oversight.
This level of care is designed for people who need more support than outpatient, but don’t require 24/7 inpatient care.

FAQ's About PHP
How many hours per day is PHP, and how long does it last?
PHP typically runs five days per week for about five to six hours per day. Length of stay varies by clinical need, progress, and goals, but many individuals remain in PHP for several weeks before stepping down to a lower level of care. Treatment plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as recovery stabilizes.
Is PHP enough if I’m struggling with relapse or mental health symptoms?
For many individuals, yes. PHP is designed for people who need daily clinical structure, therapy, and psychiatric oversight but do not require overnight residential care. It is especially effective for individuals stepping down from inpatient treatment or managing co-occurring mental health conditions that require consistent support.
Do you treat mental health conditions alongside addiction in PHP?
Yes. Our PHP integrates psychiatric care, medication management, and therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, and other co-occurring conditions. Mental health treatment is not separate—it is coordinated as part of the overall care plan.
Where do clients live while enrolled in PHP?
Clients typically live at home or in a sober living residence while attending PHP during the day. Our admissions team can help coordinate housing options when needed and ensure the living environment supports recovery.
What’s the difference between PHP and IOP?
PHP offers full-day treatment, five days per week, while IOP meets fewer days and for shorter sessions. PHP is more structured and intensive, making it ideal for early recovery, recent discharge from inpatient care, or individuals needing closer clinical oversight.
Is PHP private and confidential?
Yes. All treatment is HIPAA-compliant and fully confidential. We work with professionals, executives, and individuals who require discretion, and privacy is respected at every stage of care.

Many insurance plans cover Partial Hospitalization Programs. Coverage varies by provider and plan, but our admissions team will verify benefits, explain costs clearly, and walk you through options before treatment begins.
