What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Assessment and level of care recommendations: Before treatment, an evaluation is done to determine the most appropriate level of care. Recommendations are based on substance use history, mental health needs, physical health, recovery history, life and work responsibilities, and relapse risks and support systems.
• Personalized treatment planning: Care plans are personalized and fit each client's needs. Planning includes relapse prevention, family involvement, education, and preparation for ongoing recovery after treatment.

Who you will meet with

• Primary counselors: A primary counselor is assigned to work with the client throughout their stay. Additional counseling staff is available for support if the primary counselor is not present. Clients will also work with licensed counselors during group therapy.
• Physicians and medical providers: Physicians may meet with clients weekly in PHP and provide medication management when appropriate. They track treatment progress, address personal medical and mental health issues, and help clients on their recovery journey.

Typical schedule

• PHP: Partial hospitalization includes at least 20 hours of structured treatment time each week. Clients also take part in the Positive Recovery curriculum, evidence-based therapies, and recreational or experiential activities. Activities may include music and art appreciation.
