PHP Treatment

Addiction can place a massive hold on all facets of a person’s life. This can include their schooling, their job, and, most importantly, the relationships they have with their loved ones. It can seem daunting to have to fully retreat from all of these commitments, and in turn, it can cause people to shy away from getting the help they need.

This is why Legacy Healing Center Fort Lauderdale offers a curriculum of treatment programs that possess a range of intensity levels. In particular, our PHP rehab program allows patients to maintain these commitments while obtaining effective addiction care along the way. Read on to learn more about partial hospitalization and what this experience could look like.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, is a structured addiction and mental health program that serves as a step down from full-time residential treatment. It typically runs for three to five days per week, with sessions and care lasting for several hours a day. Patients will participate in scheduled therapy sessions with highly trained professionals throughout the day, with the option to return home at night or stay on the premises at our beautiful communal facility.

A typical day in this program consists of individual and group therapy sessions, skill-building practice, periodic evaluations, and other important forms of psychoeducation. Addiction is an all-encompassing disease, one that can have an effect on nearly every aspect of the sufferer’s life. For this reason, comprehensive treatment is necessary to address each of these problems as well as educate the individual dealing with them on how to effectively manage them when they complete their PHP rehab experience.

Partial Hospitalization Program Requirements

When it is decided that a person needs treatment, it can seem overwhelming to navigate the countless options available. Typically, the best first step you can take is to obtain a clinical assessment to determine the patient’s physical and mental health.

After conducting this assessment, our specialists can determine whether the patient qualifies and can benefit from our PHP for addiction or whether a different program would be better suited to their needs. 

Factors required in PHP qualification include:

• – Drug or alcohol use led to an inability to function at school, work, or any other obligations
• – General medical stability
• – Have previously undergone medically assisted detox, if necessary
• – Motivated to actively participate in treatment
• – Has sufficient support at home
• – Has a co-occurring addiction or mental health disorder

Benefits of Partial Hospitalization Programs

There are a number of perks that come with participating in a PHP rehab program. Aside from having the opportunity to spend evenings and weekends at home in a comfortable environment, patients in this program enjoy a number of other benefits, including:

• – Personalized care plans that evaluate where they are in their addiction and how to best address it
• – Routine interactions with highly trained professionals
• – More affordable treatment without costly overnight stays
• – More stable transitions back into everyday life
• – Maintenance and development of one’s personal agency
• – Opportunities for education through programs and classes led by industry professionals

At Legacy Healing Center, we offer a variety of effective therapy methods that will work to get to the bottom of what may have caused the addiction in question, how it affects the patient, and how they can effectively manage it moving forward. One example of these methods includes our cognitive behavioral option. 

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is an evidence-based treatment modality that focuses on restructuring one’s harmful ways of thinking, behaving, and coping with common difficulties of life. By teaching people more effective ways to manage and react to stressful situations, these are given invaluable tools that can stay with them and benefit them for the rest of their lives.

Legacy Healing’s PHP rehab offers care for a variety of addictions. We understand how different substances have different effects, and, as such, treatment for those addictions will also vary. 

Addictions treated at Legacy include:

• – Alcohol
• – Benzodiazepines
• – Cocaine
• – Ecstasy
• – Fentanyl
• – Heroin
• – Opioids
• – Prescription drugs

You don’t have to face this alone. For those looking to maintain a sense of normalcy while getting the best treatment in South Florida, Legacy can help.
