Learn About Partial Hospitalization

For many uninformed people, the rehab experience is wrought with stigma and misinformation. One such example takes the form of the misconception that all rehab programs are alike. The reality is that each has the ability to serve as a unique tool that personalizes the recovery process to each individual and their personal needs. For people in search of a program that provides a balance of stability and flexibility, Legacy Healing Center in Pompano Beach offers PHP treatment.

What Is PHP Treatment?

PHP stands for partial hospitalization program, and it is a structured treatment option that operates for several hours a day, three to five days per week. During these periods, patients will participate in scheduled therapy sessions with counselors in the daytime and have the option to return home in the evenings. This program serves as a step down from residential care, the latter of which has patients staying on the premises 24 hours a day.

A typical day for a PHP patient is filled with individual and group therapy sessions, psychoeducation, periodic evaluations, and practice skill-building that can be effective long after treatment has concluded. These are each performed with the intention of engaging the individual through the process while preparing them for the real-life challenges they will encounter outside of treatment.

Guidelines for Our Florida PHP

Before a person is admitted into this program, they must meet certain criteria. This helps to preemptively determine how effective this option could be for them, and a clinical assessment will be conducted upon admission to do so.

Qualifying criteria for partial hospitalization include:

• – Reasonable medical stability
• – Visible difficulty following up on commitments due to substance abuse
• – Prerequisite completion of the Legacy Healing detox program, where necessary
• – Presence of a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder
• – Stable support in the patient’s home
• – Motivation to participate in and succeed at treatment

No matter the case, our team of professionals will do everything in their power to place you in an appropriate care level that will give you the best chance to succeed.

Advantages of Partial Hospitalization

While every program will have its unique advantages and disadvantages, PHP treatment serves as a healthy mix of each option.

Benefits can include:

• – A relatively stable transition back into one’s routine and home environment
• – Consistent interactions with highly trained medical and clinical professionals
• – Treatment plans that are personalized to address the exact addiction and trauma of the patient in question
• – The opportunity to spend evenings and weekends in the comfort of one’s home
• – The ability to develop one’s personal sense of responsibility over their addiction, mental health, and life in general
• – The chance to attend educational classes and programs that are taught by some of the best professionals in this industry

Our staff employs a variety of effective therapeutic techniques that seek to engage the patient in their own treatment. A great example is our use of neuro-linguistic programming. This is a psychological approach that involves considering the successful strategies of others and working to apply them toward achieving a personal goal. The focus on analysis gives patients an incredible opportunity to practice a deep level of introspection, as well as consider the perspective of others that have successfully overcome their own troubles.

We also utilize rapid-resolution therapy, which seeks to aid patients in overcoming the lasting effects of personal traumatic experiences. Through techniques like guided imagery and hypnosis, the objective is to resolve any current troubling thoughts and behaviors that could be contributing to the addiction or mental illness in question. Even though this may not single-handedly cure all of your troubles, it can still provide life-changing realizations that we have otherwise pushed down or tried to forget.

Most importantly, we believe that no one should have to face their addiction or trauma alone. Legacy offers a partial hospitalization program that can aid patients in overcoming their struggles while maintaining a sense of normalcy by getting to return home at night. They will be cared for by industry professionals that understand the complexities of this disease and the importance of building a supportive community to fall back on.
