Home > Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a structured level of care within our addiction treatment programs that provides full-day care without requiring overnight stays. It is often used as a step down from detox or residential treatment, or as a starting point for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient care.
PHP bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient treatment by offering intensive clinical support during the day while allowing clients to return home or to a recovery residence in the evenings. This balance helps individuals build stability while continuing to engage with daily life.
At Foundations Group Recovery Centers Ohio, our PHP provides a structured schedule designed to support early recovery and long-term progress. Treatment typically includes:
Our PHP runs Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, providing consistent, structured support throughout the week. Each day is designed to help you build routines, strengthen coping strategies, and stay engaged in recovery.
PHP is often recommended for individuals who need intensive, structured support but do not require 24/7 supervision. It may be a good fit if you:
For many people, PHP provides the right level of care to stabilize, build momentum, and prepare for the transition to an intensive outpatient program or ongoing outpatient treatment.
Choosing the right level of care can feel overwhelming, especially when several treatment options sound similar. PHP is often used when someone needs a high level of daily structure but does not require 24/7 medical or residential supervision.
Inpatient or residential treatment provides the highest level of structure. Clients live on-site while receiving care and support throughout the day and night. This level of care may be recommended for people who need a more immersive treatment environment or who are not yet ready to return home in the evenings.
PHP provides intensive daytime treatment while allowing clients to return home or to a recovery residence at night. This makes PHP a strong option for people who need daily clinical support, relapse prevention work, and structured programming without full residential care.
An intensive outpatient program, or IOP, is less intensive than PHP. IOP usually involves treatment several days per week for fewer hours per day. Many clients step down to IOP after completing PHP so they can continue receiving support while gradually returning to work, school, family responsibilities, or daily routines.

No. PHP is less intensive than inpatient or residential treatment because clients do not stay overnight in the facility. PHP still provides a high level of daytime structure, therapy, and clinical support.
Possibly, yes — but it depends on your schedule, the program’s hours, and how far you are from work. Many programs in the Columbus area allow early shifts or flexible scheduling. If you are working, talk to the admissions team about whether part-time work or a modified schedule is feasible.
PHP is a day-treatment program — you return home each evening rather than staying overnight in the facility. For people coming from further away, some nearby housing (sober living or transitional residences) may be recommended. If you’re relocating for treatment, ask whether the program has partnered housing options.
Yes. Many people entering addiction treatment also experience anxiety, depression, trauma, mood symptoms, or other mental health concerns. PHP can support both substance use recovery and co-occurring mental health needs as part of an individualized treatment plan.
Some clients need detox before PHP, especially if they are at risk of withdrawal symptoms. Others may be able to begin PHP directly. The admissions team can help determine the safest and most appropriate next step.
Many insurance plans do cover PHP as a recognized level of care — particularly when medically or clinically necessary. You’ll want to check with your provider to verify coverage, any out-of-pocket costs, and whether the program is in-network.
