Treatment

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program provides structured, intensive treatment during the day without an overnight stay in the treatment program. Patients attend scheduled sessions and return to their home or another appropriate living environment afterward. PHP offers more support than traditional outpatient appointments, with the schedule tailored to the program and the patient’s clinical needs.

What’s the difference between PHP and inpatient treatment?

Inpatient treatment involves staying in a hospital with round-the-clock medical or psychiatric care. PHP provides intensive treatment during scheduled daytime hours, with patients living elsewhere. PHP may be appropriate as a transition from inpatient care or for someone who needs substantial support and can safely manage outside program hours.

What kind of therapy happens in PHP?

PHP may include group therapy, individual counseling, psychiatric support, and medication management when appropriate. Treatment can incorporate approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills. Your treatment plan focuses on understanding symptoms, building coping skills, improving daily functioning, and supporting recovery.

Is PHP only for addiction?

No. PHP can address mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or both, depending on the program. It may support people experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and other behavioral health challenges. A clinical assessment helps determine whether PHP provides the right support and whether the person can safely participate in an outpatient setting.

How long does PHP last?

The length of PHP depends on your symptoms, treatment goals, progress, and ongoing clinical needs. Your care team regularly reviews your treatment plan and discusses next steps with you. When appropriate, you may transition to IOP or another outpatient program for continued support.

Does insurance cover PHP?

Coverage for PHP depends on your insurance plan, benefits, clinical needs, and the program’s network status. Prior authorization may be required. Our admissions team can help verify your benefits and explain anticipated deductibles, copayments, or other out-of-pocket costs before treatment begins.

General

Are virtual treatment and evening programs available?

Virtual IOP, telehealth services, and evening IOP options are available within the Prosperous Health network. These options may help patients participate in treatment while managing work, family, or transportation needs. Our team can confirm current schedules and determine whether a virtual or evening program is appropriate for you.

Can you help with both mental health and substance use concerns?

Yes. Mental health and substance use concerns can occur together, often called co-occurring disorders. Our approach considers how these concerns affect one another and coordinates medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic support as appropriate. Available services depend on the program, location, and each patient’s needs.

Do you offer sober living?

Sober living is available at Lake Hughes Recovery in Gorman, California. Residents may access outpatient or virtual treatment when appropriate, or continue working with their existing treatment providers. Housing and clinical treatment are separate services. Our team can explain accommodations, program options, costs, and current availability.

Does Prosperous Health provide medical and psychiatric care?

Through Prosperous Medical, patients can access physician-led addiction medicine, ambulatory withdrawal management, medication management, and coordinated medical and psychiatric services. Care is based on an individualized evaluation and coordinated with the patient’s treatment team. Specific services depend on clinical needs, the treatment setting, and provider availability.

How do I get started or refer someone for care?

Call Prosperous Health at (888) 207-3422 or submit an inquiry through our website. Our team will discuss your needs, review available programs, and explain the next steps. Family members, healthcare professionals, and community partners are also welcome to contact us for help coordinating a referral.

How do I know which level of care I need?

You do not need to choose a program on your own. Our admissions and clinical teams review your symptoms, medical history, substance use, previous treatment, and available support. This information helps determine an appropriate level of care and whether medical evaluation or stabilization is needed before starting a program.

What is ambulatory or outpatient detox?

Ambulatory detox is physician-directed withdrawal management provided in an outpatient setting. It may include medical evaluations, prescribed medications, symptom monitoring, and scheduled follow-up. This option is intended for carefully screened patients whose withdrawal can be managed safely outside a residential or hospital setting. A medical evaluation determines whether it is appropriate.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An Intensive Outpatient Program provides structured therapy and recovery support through scheduled sessions while patients live at home or in another supportive environment. IOP generally involves fewer treatment hours than PHP and more support than traditional outpatient appointments. It can serve as an initial treatment option or a transition from a more intensive program.

What levels of care does Prosperous Health offer?

The Prosperous Health network includes medical detox, ambulatory or outpatient detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and traditional outpatient care. Virtual treatment and evening IOP options are also available. Each location offers its own programs, and our admissions team can confirm current availability and help identify an appropriate setting.
