Home > Day Treatment Program
For many individuals, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for addiction and mental health offers the structure of intensive care without the need for overnight stays. It bridges the gap between inpatient hospitalizations and outpatient care, delivering comprehensive support in a flexible setting.
Our PHP provides structured treatment through:
Individual therapy sessions tailored to your needs and goals
Group therapy that encourages peer connection and shared insight
Family therapy, when appropriate, to support healing at home
Occupational therapy to help rebuild daily routines and social skills
Medication management and psychiatric evaluation with our experienced team of psychiatrists
Your treatment day may also include support for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or conditions like bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder—each addressed with sensitivity and respect.
People with psychiatric disorders often struggle with daily lives outside of care. PHP offers continuity for those leaving an inpatient unit or emergency department, while avoiding the intensity of a full hospital stay. The program supports mental illness management through:
Continuum of care planning
Treatment goals that evolve with your progress
Monitoring for psychotic symptoms or mental health symptoms as needed
Access to community programs post-discharge
We work closely with each client to ensure treatment remains relevant and responsive—especially for those navigating conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorders or trauma-related challenges.
PHP is often recommended for those who:
Don’t require 24/7 supervision but still need intensive treatment
Are stepping down from inpatient hospitalizations or partial hospitalization services
Need structured days but flexibility at night
Are managing addiction or psychiatric care for ongoing or emerging diagnoses
Whether you’re transitioning from an inpatient unit or starting psychiatric treatment for the first time, PHP offers a clear next step—with both depth and flexibility.

Our PHP addiction treatment program allows clients transitioning from an inpatient detox program a chance to move into a more flexible program that still offers a high level of structure and support. A partial hospitalization program is a step that many people battling substance use disorder take after they have been through a residential treatment program or detoxification, including alcohol inpatient rehab. In the early stages of recovery, it is often critical that a patient lives on-site and only leaves under exceptional circumstances. We welcome clients from the surrounding Columbus, Westerville, Gahanna, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, Hilliard, Grove City, Marysville, New Albany, and Delaware, OH areas.
As part of our partial hospitalization program services, clients will have access to:
Daily group programming using evidence based treatment
Medication Management
Access to a Nurse Practitioner
MAT Services
One-on-one counseling sessions with a licensed therapist
Family Support
Transportation to 12-Step recovery meetings
Membership to a local gym facility
Weekend activities around Columbus.

Located in Columbus, we proudly serve individuals and families from surrounding areas like Westerville, Gahanna, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, Hilliard, Grove City, Marysville, New Albany, and Delaware, OH. If you’re ready for a program that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with purpose, our PHP is here for you.
Not always — the exact number of hours varies by program, but a PHP typically means full-day treatment several days a week (often 5 days) and usually includes a minimum of 20–30 hours. You’ll want to ask how many hours per week your specific program requires and whether there’s flexibility.
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.
A PHP is more intensive than standard outpatient (which might be a few hours a week) but less intensive than full inpatient (which requires overnight stays). PHP offers structured daily therapy, medical/psychiatric monitoring, and educational groups while allowing you to live at home.
After PHP, most people step down to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or standard outpatient therapy as part of a continuing care plan. The aim is to gradually reduce intensity while maintaining support and building long-term recovery habits.
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.
