Addictions We Treat
Therapies Offered in Our Partial Hospitalization Program
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on identifying and restructuring negative thought patterns that influence behavior and emotions. It operates on the principle that changing maladaptive thinking leads to changes in behavior and emotional regulation. CBT is a goal-oriented approach widely used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. It teaches individuals coping strategies for dealing with challenging situations.1
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that emphasizes the psychosocial aspects of treatment. Its foundational principle is the synthesis of opposites. Through acceptance and change strategies, DBT aims to help individuals learn to manage emotions, improve relationships, and live more mindfully. DBT is particularly effective for treating personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, and conditions involving significant emotional dysregulation.2
Individual therapy involves one-on-one sessions between a client and a therapist, focusing on the underlying issues and behaviors contributing to substance use. It provides a private setting for individuals to explore their emotions, triggers, and past experiences that influence their addiction. This personalized approach enables the development of customized strategies for coping and recovery, making it a fundamental aspect of effective addiction treatment programs.

FAQs About Our Partial Hospitalization Program
Get answers to the most commonly asked questions about PHP treatment:
A Partial Hospitalization Program is a rehabilitation program that provides structured care similar to residential (inpatient) rehab.
However, unlike inpatient rehab, PHP treatment allows clients to return home at the end of the day instead of residing at the facility 24/7.
The program provides intensive drug and alcohol treatment during the day, usually involving several hours of therapy a week, without an overnight stay.
This structure benefits individuals who require significant support and treatment but have a stable home environment and can manage being at home during evenings and weekends.
PHP treatment is a critical step between complete inpatient care and less intensive models, such as outpatient treatment, offering a balanced approach that supports recovery while maintaining some personal freedoms.3
Our Partial Hospitalization Program operates 5 days a week, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
It includes process groups, life skills training, psycho-education, medical and psych evaluations, and a comprehensive bio-psychosocial assessment.
In addition, the program offers 60 minutes of individual therapy, family sessions, crisis intervention, fitness therapy, nutrition classes, meals, and transportation.
Our holistic approach creates a supportive environment for sustained healing and personal growth.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program incorporates a wide array of therapies and treatments designed to address the multifaceted nature of drug and alcohol addiction, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which help clients modify negative thought patterns and manage emotions and relationships effectively.
We also utilize Motivational Interviewing to enhance motivation toward recovery.
The program is enriched with individual and group therapy sessions.
It offers specialized tracks like the “Ready to Launch” and the “Professionals Track,” tailored to accommodate individuals with specific professional and personal obligations.
Additionally, Holistic approaches such as Art and Music Therapy, Fitness Therapy, and Nutrition Classes are integrated to support overall well-being.
Partial Hospitalization Programs are a proven treatment option for individuals struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
PHP treatment provides a structured environment similar to inpatient care but allows patients to maintain some aspects of their daily lives.
Research shows that PHPs are particularly effective for patients who require intensive treatment but do not need 24-hour supervision.
The therapies offered in PHP, such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, have been shown to reduce substance use and improve patient outcomes significantly.
A study in the Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment found that patients participating in PHPs exhibited improved psychological and social functioning, suggesting that PHP can be a vital component of the continuum of care for substance abuse treatment (Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, 2020).4
This level of care is especially beneficial for those with a supportive home environment and a solid motivation to recover, providing the necessary support while reintegrating into everyday life.
