Treating addiction requires a multi-faceted approach that involves several different types of treatment programs. One type of outpatient treatment is a partial hospitalization program, or PHP, that supports people who are working on their recovery and ready to move back home or into a sober living community. This program typically follows a residential treatment program and greatly reduces the risk of relapse as residents begin to adjust to life outside of rehab.
At BRC Healthcare, we offer a wide range of treatment options, from residential to outpatient treatment programs for individuals who are ready to stop abusing drugs or alcohol. Our therapists build trust and open communication with each client so they feel comfortable opening up about the issues behind the abuse and begin the healing process. The skills they learn today will help prevent relapses right after recovery and long into the future.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
There are several stages of addiction recovery that include residential treatment, partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and aftercare programs. A partial hospitalization program is a type of outpatient treatment that offers continual support for treating addiction and the underlying causes that are fueling it. It generally follows an inpatient program and continues the same behavioral and medical therapies as part of an all-encompassing treatment plan.
A PHP rehab program allows for the gradual transition from residential treatment to living at home or in a sober living community over a period of two to four weeks. Each person’s progress is unique and can take as long as necessary to reach their recovery goals. During PHP, clients continue working with a therapist in group and private therapy sessions for up to six hours per day, several days per week, and spend the rest of the time at home. For those who don’t have a stable living arrangement, there are sober living communities available where they can stay until they have a stable home.
At BRC Healthcare, our partial hospitalization program in Austin, TX, supports people who are working on their recovery. This program eases the transition from residential treatment to living at home while continuing behavioral and holistic therapies and medical support.
What to Expect from a PHP Rehab Program
While each person’s recovery experience is unique to their situation, here is what you can expect from a typical PHP rehab program:
- Therapists will run a full assessment of your physical and mental health to create a custom treatment plan based on each client’s unique symptoms and causes. After completing residential treatment, clients will begin outpatient treatment and continue therapy while living at home or in a sober community.
- Clients will work with a therapist in group and private therapy sessions using behavioral and holistic therapy practices. During private therapy, they focus on the reasons behind the addiction and develop new coping skills. In group therapy, clients practice their coping and communication skills in a safe and supervised environment.
- For those who need medical support after completing detox, medical staff will administer medications throughout the program for as long as necessary. Some clients will need to continue medications to treat any lingering conditions caused by the abuse.
- As you progress through the program, therapists will evaluate your progress and recommend advancing to the next stage of recovery or continuing a PHP for a few more weeks.
A partial hospitalization program is an essential step in the recovery process for those who are working on their recovery. This program will greatly improve each client’s chance of reaching their recovery goals with minimal risks of relapse.
