What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A partial hospitalization program offers intensive day therapy for adults, typically 5 to 6 hours per day, 5 days a week. This is known as ASAM Level 2.5 care and provides more support than an intensive outpatient program.
PHP differs from inpatient treatment because you don’t stay overnight. You participate in group and individual therapy and clinical activities each day, returning home each evening to practice new skills.
When PHP is the Right Fit for Your Recovery
PHP treatment is right for certain situations. Our clinical team will assess your needs and suggest the best level of care. Some people need PHP after inpatient or residential treatment, while others need more support than intensive outpatient care offers.
PHP is a good fit if you can safely manage your evenings at home but still need daily support and therapy. Your recovery needs more structure than just weekly appointments.
- Recent discharge from residential care: You finished residential treatment and need continued momentum.
- Completed medical detox: Your body stabilized, and you need daily therapeutic support.
- Higher support than IOP: Intensive outpatient program hours are not enough for your current needs.
- Safe home environment: You can return home in the evenings without an immediate risk of relapse.
- Co-occurring conditions: You manage mental health disorders alongside substance use disorders.

Benefits of Attending a Partial Hospitalization Program in Sacramento
A partial hospitalization program in Sacramento has clear benefits for adults in early recovery. You get intensive therapy while staying connected to home. Sacramento Wellness plans each day based on your progress and treatment goals.
Go Home Each Evening
Therapy and Group Support
Group therapy helps you build a sense of community during recovery. You meet other adults with similar challenges, share experiences, and learn from each other. Support groups reduce isolation, and professional therapists guide each session.
Daily Structure and Accountability
You arrive at the same time each morning, keeping your schedule consistent. This routine helps you build healthy habits. Showing up every day keeps you accountable, and your clinical team can track your progress and address any concerns right away.
Skills for Cravings, Triggers, and Stress
During PHP, you learn practical skills to prevent relapse. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you notice your thought patterns, and stress management techniques teach you new ways to respond. You practice these skills and use them at home.
Step-Down Plan After PHP
PHP also helps you plan for what comes next. Before you finish the program, your team creates a step-down plan. This might include intensive outpatient care, regular outpatient treatment, or community support. Long-term recovery needs ongoing care.
What You Get in Our Sacramento PHP Program
Sacramento Wellness offers addiction treatment based on proven therapies. Your care looks at your whole self. Our PHP program includes therapy, medication management, and skill-building. Each service is tied to your personal goals.
Our partial hospitalization program combines mental health and substance abuse treatment. You get caring support from trained addiction specialists, with daily oversight from licensed professionals.
Trauma-Informed Care
Many adults bring past trauma into recovery. Our trauma therapy approach understands this. Clinicians create a safe space in each session, so you can process painful memories at your own pace. Healing happens without judgment or pressure.
Dual Diagnosis Support
Dual diagnosis care means treating addiction and mental health issues at the same time. Depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder are addressed along with substance recovery. Our approach covers both in every session.
Therapy and Skills Groups
Group therapy sessions focus on different topics each day. Dialectical behavioral therapy helps you manage emotions, while cognitive behavioral therapy looks at your thought patterns. Skills groups are practical, and you learn and practice with support from peers.
Medication Support When Needed
Some people in recovery need help managing medications. Our clinical team monitors your medications and any side effects, and nursing staff checks your vitals every day. Medication is used to support your stability when needed.
What to Expect From Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Sacramento
At Sacramento Wellness, our partial hospitalization program (PHP) follows a structured daily routine, so you know what to expect each day. Our supportive environment helps reduce anxiety, and the structure supports your progress.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your treatment plan is based on your unique situation. Clinicians assess you during your first days, looking at your substance history, mental health, and personal goals. Your plan changes as you move through PHP.
Every adult comes in with different needs. Some need more trauma therapy, while others need focused dual diagnosis support. Your plan is tailored to fit your clinical needs.
Daily Therapy Sessions
In PHP, you have therapy every day. You meet with your assigned counselor for individual sessions, and most of your time is spent in group therapy. Topics include relapse prevention, communication skills, and emotional processing.
Morning sessions help you work through immediate concerns, while afternoon groups focus on building skills. Each day, you leave with something practical to use at home.
Life Skills Development
Recovery takes more than just therapy. You learn to handle stress without substances, and coping strategies become second nature with practice. You also work on budgeting, scheduling, and building healthy routines.
These life skills help you stay in recovery for the long term. You build independence during PHP, and your confidence grows as you handle daily challenges without falling back into old habits.

What We Treat in PHP at Sacramento Wellness
We treat adults with both substance use and mental health disorders. Our partial hospitalization program specializes in addiction recovery with strong clinical support. We address multiple conditions with integrated care.
The PHP model works for many types of substances and diagnoses. Our team has experience with alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and prescription drugs. Co-occurring mental health conditions are given equal attention in your plan.
Alcohol Use Disorder
Alcohol addiction affects both the brain and body over time. Our treatment addresses your drinking patterns, triggers, and root causes. You learn to spot cravings and respond in new ways. Group therapy connects you with others in recovery.
Drug Use Disorder
Substance use with opioids, stimulants, or other drugs needs special attention. Each drug brings its own challenges, and our team understands these differences. Your treatment is based on your specific drug history and current needs.
Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder often show up with addiction. Treating only one limits your success. Our mental health treatment runs alongside addiction treatment, so both get attention during PHP.
What Happens Each Day in Our PHP Program
At Sacramento Wellness PHP, your day follows a set schedule. This consistency helps you build momentum in recovery. Every hour has a purpose, and the structure helps replace the chaos of addiction.
You arrive each morning at 9 AM, and your day ends between 3 and 5 PM. Activities include therapy, skills groups, and wellness sessions. Breaks give you time to rest while staying focused.
A typical PHP day may include:
- Daily check-in: Review how you are doing and what support you need that day.
- Group therapy: Guided sessions focused on recovery, thoughts, and emotions.
- Skills groups: Tools for cravings, triggers, stress, and communication.
- Individual therapy (scheduled days): One-on-one work on goals and progress.
- Recovery planning: Review coping tools and plan for the evening.
- Breaks: Short breaks between sessions.
Therapy and Clinical Support in Our Sacramento PHP Program
Clinical services are at the heart of your partial hospitalization experience. Sacramento Wellness PHP treatment delivers, combining evidence-based therapies with professional oversight. Your care meets DHCS standards for quality and safety.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one sessions give you space for private work. Your counselor focuses on your personal story, helping you explore patterns, trauma, and goals without a group present. Individual therapy lays the foundation for deeper healing and happens weekly during PHP.
Group Therapy
Group therapy brings adults together to learn and support each other. Therapists lead sessions on specific topics, and you hear from peers in recovery. As you connect, isolation fades. Group therapy happens several times a day in PHP.
Family Therapy
Addiction impacts the whole family. Family therapy brings your loved ones into the recovery process, helping to heal relationships. Family members learn about substance use and recovery, and communication improves through guided sessions.
Evidence-Based Therapy
Our therapies are based on research and clinical trials. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) helps you spot harmful thought patterns, and dialectical behavior therapy builds skills in emotional regulation. Evidence-based therapies get real results, so you receive care that works.
How We Help Through Therapy and Counseling
Therapy at Sacramento Wellness looks at what led to your substance use. Counselors help you find the root causes, since surface behaviors often point to deeper issues. Your therapy helps uncover these connections.
Our clinical team closely tracks your progress and your treatment changes as you stabilize. Early in PHP, the focus is on safety and managing cravings. Later, you work on patterns and prevention.
Counseling builds skills you carry after PHP ends:
- Recognizing early warning signs before relapse.
- Managing difficult emotions without substances.
- Communicating needs to family and support networks.
- Building daily routines that protect recovery.
- Connecting with community support and support groups.
How Long Does PHP Last?
The length of PHP depends on the person. Most adults attend for 6 to 8 weeks, but some need more time. Your clinical team checks your progress each week, and treatment ends when you reach your stabilization goals.
Insurance can also affect how long you stay. Your health insurance determines how many days are covered. Sacramento Wellness checks your insurance before you start, and we’ll talk about payment options if there are limits. Medicaid covers qualifying adults.
PHP vs IOP vs Inpatient
Choosing the right level of care depends on your needs. Each program is designed for different situations, and your assessment will help find the best starting point.
PHP is a step between inpatient care and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Knowing the differences helps you make informed treatment decisions.
Factor | PHP | IOP | Inpatient |
Time per week | Most days | Several days | 24/7 |
Where you live | Home nights | Home | Stay on-site |
Support level | High outpatient | Moderate outpatient | Highest |
Best for | Needs daily structure | Needs structured support + flexibility | Needs constant monitoring |
Step in care | Step-down or step-up | Step-down or step-up | Stabilize, then step-down |
Therapy | Groups + individual (scheduled) | Groups + individual (scheduled) | Daily care in 24/7 setting |
How Does a Partial Hospitalization Program Help Adults Recover From Addiction?
PHP gives you structure when addiction has disrupted your routine. Coming in every day helps you build new habits, and your brain starts to connect mornings with recovery instead of substance use.
In PHP, you frequently interact with clinicians. Therapists can spot warning signs early, and medication changes can be made quickly. Problems are addressed before they turn into crises.
The skills you build in PHP carry over to your home life. Each evening, you practice coping strategies, and morning groups review what worked. Over time, this cycle strengthens your relapse prevention skills.
