Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Recovery is a journey-one that deserves both structure and humanity. At Tovli Recovery, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers an intensive, clinically grounded path to address drug, alcohol, or prescription medication addiction. This program strikes the balance between full-residential care and traditional outpatient treatment, providing the support you need while you live at home, maintain responsibilities, and rebuild your life with dignity and hope.

When you’re dealing with addiction, you may need more than standard outpatient visits-but you may not require 24-hour supervision in a residential facility. That’s where a PHP comes in. Our program is built for individuals ready to engage deeply in treatment, yet able to sleep at home and remain connected to their daily lives. With licensed clinicians, evidence-based therapies, and a schedule that supports recovery without halting life, PHP bridges the gap. Let us guide you with care, structure, and real clinical expertise as you reclaim stability and move toward lasting freedom.

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is defined by its intensity and structure. According to SAMHSA and other clinical sources, PHPs involve daily or near-daily treatment (often 4-6+ hours per day) for individuals who don’t require inpatient hospitalization yet still need more support than standard outpatient services.

In addiction treatment contexts, PHPs offer many of the same therapeutic and medical services found in residential care-but allow clients to return home each evening. This model is ideal for those who:

• Have completed detox or are medically stable,
• Require clinical oversight and therapy multiple times per week,
• Have a supportive home environment conducive to recovery.

PHP occupies the middle ground in the treatment continuum-more intensive than IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) but less restrictive than full inpatient care.

You might be a good candidate for a PHP if any of these apply:

• You’ve recently finished detox or inpatient care and need a structured step-down program.
• You’re facing moderate to severe addiction, perhaps with co-occurring mental health conditions, but don’t require full 24/7 medical monitoring.
• You have stable housing, a sober environment, and reliable transportation to attend daily sessions.
• You want more intensity than weekly outpatient therapy but still wish to maintain connection with home, work or school.

If you’re uncertain whether PHP is right for you, our admissions specialists at Tovli Recovery can provide a free, confidential assessment to help you determine the best level of care.

At Tovli Recovery, our PHP is staffed by licensed addiction specialists, therapists, nurses and medical professionals committed to evidence-based treatment. Here’s what you’ll encounter:

Medical & Clinical Support

• Licensed clinicians monitor your progress, address any withdrawal or medical issues, and coordinate care for co-occurring mental health conditions.
• Medication‐assisted treatment (MAT) may be offered when clinically indicated—always paired with therapy and oversight.
• Daily check-ins, supervision, and structured schedules ensure the intensity you need without full residential confinement.

Therapeutic & Behavioral Interventions

• Individual therapy, group therapy, family sessions, trauma-informed care and wellness practices (mindfulness, nutrition, exercise) are all part of the plan.
• We employ proven modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to treat underlying drivers of addiction.
• Relapse‐prevention planning begins early, helping you develop real-world skills to manage triggers and maintain sobriety.

Transitioning & Aftercare Planning

• As you progress, we design your move-forward plan: whether that’s stepping into an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), continuing outpatient care, or joining our alumni network.
• Family support, community integration and long-term recovery tools are built in—because PHP is not the finish line but a vital milestone.

For many people, substance use and trauma are not two separate problems. Alcohol or drugs become the thing that makes intrusive memories, hypervigilance, or sleeplessness bearable. Treating the substance use alone removes the coping mechanism and leaves the trauma untouched, which is why symptoms often intensify in early recovery.

Why Sequential Treatment Falls Short

The older model treated addiction first and trauma later, once someone had achieved a stretch of sobriety. In practice, untreated trauma symptoms are among the most common drivers of return to use, so waiting often means never getting there.

Integrated Care

Tovli’s PHP treats both conditions concurrently, with the same clinical team and one coordinated treatment plan. Trauma work is paced deliberately. Stabilization and skills come before processing, so difficult material is approached only once someone has the capacity to handle it.

Common Presentations We Treat

• PTSD and post-traumatic symptoms alongside alcohol or drug use
• Adverse childhood experiences surfacing in adulthood
• Complex trauma from prolonged or repeated exposure
• Grief and loss driving substance use
• Anxiety, depression, or mood conditions co-occurring with addiction

“Trauma-informed” is used loosely across behavioral health, so here is what it means concretely at Tovli.

• Safety and predictability first. Structure, clear expectations, and consistency, because unpredictability is itself destabilizing for someone with a trauma history.
• Choice and control. You are not required to disclose or process trauma on a schedule set by the program. Pacing is collaborative.
• Recognizing behavior as adaptation. Substance use, avoidance, and difficulty trusting a treatment team are treated as responses that once served a purpose, not as noncompliance.
• Clinicians trained in trauma modalities. Trauma treatment is a specific skill set. It is not something added on top of general addiction counseling.

Choosing a PHP offers unique advantages:

• High-Intensity Support Without Overnight Stay: You have the structure and clinical depth of residential treatment, while living at home.
• Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than inpatient care, yet more intensive than standard outpatient care.
• Flexibility: Maintain career, education, or family commitments while immersing in treatment.
• Seamless Step-Down: Easier transition into ongoing outpatient support, reducing risk of relapse.
• Coordinated Care: For those with co-occurring disorders—PHP offers integrated services for both addiction and mental health.

The right program makes all the difference. At Tovli Recovery, you’ll receive:

• A team of licensed, experienced professionals specialized in addiction medicine and outpatient intensive care.
• Evidence-based treatment aligned with NIDA and SAMHSA best practices.
• Flexible scheduling and living arrangements that support your recovery while you remain in your own environment.
• A compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you’re treated with dignity, not labels.

Recovery begins when you’re ready-and your environment is ready for you.
