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.
Step-Down Care
Individuals transitioning from inpatient or residential treatment who still require daily clinical structure and support.
Higher Clinical Needs
Those experiencing moderate to severe mental health or substance use symptoms that require intensive treatment.
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.
