Partial Hospitalization Programs vs. Intensive Outpatient Treatment

Partial Hospitalization Programs vs. Intensive Outpatient Treatment

Two of the main treatment styles for addiction include partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient treatment. These addiction treatment programs differ from inpatient care because patients are allowed to live in their own home or in a sober living facility. Partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient treatment have fewer requirements and unique standards but are just as effective as inpatient addiction treatment. Outpatient care is typically done after detox and some form of inpatient addiction treatment has been completed.

Understanding Partial Hospitalization Programs

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are the highest-level outpatient program you can take part in for addiction treatment. At Sobriety Options our admissions team places you in a partial hospitalization program that uses a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy, education, 12-step principles, medication management, and process group therapy. Clients in this program are able to live in their own home nearby. However, many choose to stay in a sober living center. The benefit of staying in sober living during partial hospitalization programs is having access to medical professionals and support staff. This is especially important during the detox process and initial days. 

How Intensive Outpatient Treatment Differs

Intensive outpatient treatment programs are ideal for individuals who have completed some sort of addiction treatment in the past and are risking relapse or have recently relapsed. More often than not, clients must participate in an inpatient detox before they can enter intensive outpatient treatment. This allows them to safely recover in a sustainable manner. Intensive outpatient treatment is readily adaptable to the client’s life, including your personal, professional, and family life. Because you do not spend the majority of your time in treatment, you must have motivation to get sober and stay sober. 

During intensive outpatient treatment, you are able to make the transition from inpatient addiction treatment to the real world. When compared to partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient treatment is less time consuming – but just as effective. In Sobriety Option’s intensive outpatient treatment, clients are assigned an individual therapist. They also participate in therapy process groups that are small in size. Being located in Southern California, there are many opportunities for picking up new routines and hobbies during addiction treatment, and intensive outpatient treatment allows you to have the time to partake in other activities and adventures.
