Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Raleigh, NC

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of outpatient care available for substance use and mental health issues. It is designed to give you the maximum amount of support and help without having to go to an inpatient facility.

PHP typically runs five days a week for several hours a day and includes a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric care, and medication support. You return home each evening, allowing you to stay connected to daily life while receiving structured, intensive care during the day.

This level of care is often helpful during more acute or unstable periods, whether someone is stepping down from inpatient treatment or trying to avoid hospitalization altogether. PHP provides the consistency and support needed to stabilize symptoms and build a foundation before transitioning to a lower level of care, such as an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or ongoing therapy.

During our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for substance use, you can expect structured, daytime support designed to help you stabilize, build skills, and regain momentum in recovery while still returning home each evening.

PHP typically runs five days a week for several hours per day and includes a mix of individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatry and medication management, and case management. Psychiatric support is available to help address mental health symptoms, support mood and sleep, and reduce cravings when appropriate, all as part of an integrated treatment plan.

Throughout the program, you’ll work with a consistent clinical team who coordinates care and adjusts support as needed. The structure provides routine and accountability, while still allowing space to practice what you’re learning in daily life.
