Addiction & Mental Health PHP

When addiction and mental health struggles collide, you deserve a lifeline that’s both compassionate and clinically strong. At Adaptive Care Network, our Addiction & Mental Health PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) meets you in that crucial middle ground, intensive care by day, the comfort of home or supportive housing at night. We serve individuals and families across our locations, including New Jersey Recovery Solutions in Florham Park, NJ, and Forward Health Ohio in the greater Columbus area. If you’re looking for real help, we’ve built a path that works: comprehensive treatment, practical structure, and steady support so you can get traction right away. Getting help isn’t just brave, it opens the door to stability, relief, and a life you actually want to live.

What Is an Addiction & Mental Health PHP?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of outpatient care, think of it as full-day treatment without the overnight stay. In our Addiction & Mental Health PHP, you’ll spend most weekdays engaged in therapy, psychiatry, skill-building, and wellness services. Then you return home or to sober/supportive housing in the evenings.

Why it matters: many people need more than a weekly therapy session but less than 24/7 inpatient care. PHP bridges that gap, offering daily therapeutic engagement, medical oversight, and strong accountability while preserving some independence. For clients stepping down from detox or residential treatment, or stepping up from IOP/OP, our PHP provides structure, safety, and momentum at a pivotal time.

Who Is an Addiction & Mental Health PHP Program Designed For?

Our PHP is a strong fit for people who:

  • Are transitioning from medical detox or residential inpatient treatment and still need daily, structured care.
  • Need more support than an IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) or OP (Outpatient Program) can offer.
  • Live with co-occurring conditions, substance use and mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or PTSD.
  • Benefit from a high level of accountability, medication management, and frequent therapy while maintaining ties at home, school, or work.

We personalize care from day one. Your schedule, therapy mix, and goals are built around your situation, with the flexibility to adjust as you stabilize and grow.

Addiction & Mental Health PHP vs IOP vs OP – Understanding the Differences

Choosing the right level of care is a big decision. Here’s how PHP compares with IOP and OP.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is the most intensive option at the outpatient level. Expect near-daily programming (often 5–6 hours a day, 5 days a week), regular psychiatric care and medication support, frequent individual and group therapy, and wraparound services like case management and family involvement. PHP is ideal for complex or unstable symptoms that still don’t require overnight monitoring.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP is a step down in intensity, typically 9–15 hours per week across multiple days. It’s built for people who’ve stabilized in PHP or residential and can safely manage more of their week independently, but still need structured therapy, relapse prevention, and ongoing psychiatric support. If you’re considering stepping down, ask us about our IOP pathway so you can stay with the same trusted team.

Outpatient Program (OP)

OP is the least intensive level, usually 1–5 hours per week. It’s well-suited for maintenance, relapse prevention, medication management, and long-term support as you rebuild your routines. Many clients continue with OP after completing PHP or IOP to keep momentum strong.

Not sure where to start? We can assess your needs and recommend the right level, including seamless transitions into our IOP and OP when you’re ready.

Benefits of Addiction & Mental Health PHP Programs

  • Daily stability and structure: Consistent therapeutic days reduce chaos and cravings while building predictable routines.
  • Clinical depth: Frequent individual, group, and family sessions help you address root causes, not just symptoms.
  • Medication and psychiatry support: On-site providers help fine-tune medications for mood, sleep, anxiety, and cravings.
  • Real-life practice: You apply new coping skills at home each evening, then process wins and challenges with your team the next day.
  • Accountability with independence: High support without losing connection to work, school, or family.

Bottom line: PHP helps you stabilize quickly, gain skills that stick, and move forward with confidence.
