Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Overcoming a substance use disorder is not something you have to do alone. Our team of addiction professionals at Empowered Recovery Center in Atlanta are specifically trained to provide comprehensive care to meet your individual needs.

We offer various addiction treatment programs, including a partial hospitalization rehab program (PHP), or day treatment, which is the most intensive outpatient service available at our drug and alcohol rehab in Atlanta. Patients in this program receive an individualized PHP treatment plan based on their unique needs and preferences.

A partial hospitalization rehab program offers you intensive addiction treatment services on an outpatient basis. If you are stable and do not need inpatient rehab, but still require daily monitoring and management, our PHP in Atlanta may be a great choice. The PHP drug rehab environment is recovery-oriented, and services are provided by a team of licensed professionals, including medical, psychological, psychiatric, laboratory, toxicology, and emergency services. In a partial hospitalization rehab program you still receive all of the same services and care as an inpatient stay, but you can also return home at night.

IOPs require 9 to 20 hours of programming per week while PHPs require at least 20 hours of treatment per week or more. The exact time requirements and programs will depend on the patient's individual treatment needs. PHP drug and alcohol rehabs are often for people just starting their treatment journey or stepping down from an inpatient program, who may still need intensive medical and psychiatric care.

If you enter a PHP rehab near you, you will likely be expected to attend the program for a minimum of 20 to 30 hours per week. The programs are structured with set attendance times. At our PHP rehab in Atlanta, the program runs five days a week, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with breaks for lunch.

During your time in a PHP drug and alcohol rehab, you can participate in individual and group therapies, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), family therapy, educational groups, holistic groups, treatment for co-occurring disorders, and more.
