Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Colorado
Structured, full-day treatment for individuals who need intensive care โ without inpatient hospitalization.
What is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a highly structured level of care designed for individuals who need more support than outpatient therapy, but do not require 24/7 inpatient hospitalization. PHP provides full-day treatmentโtypically 5 days per weekโwhile allowing clients to return home in the evenings.
At TRUE Counseling, our PHP program supports individuals navigating mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or co-occurring challenges through evidence-based therapy, accountability, and clinical oversight.

Outpatient Isnโt Enough
Clients who havenโt progressed in standard outpatient or weekly therapy and need more consistent care.
Live at Home
Adults who need a high level of care while maintaining stability and independence at home.
Partial Hospitalization Programs are designed for individuals who need structured, daily support โ without full inpatient care.
