Fort Worth Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

What is PHP? 

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are considered the most intensive form of day treatment. It provides individuals with continued drug and alcohol treatment while allowing them to reside at home or in supportive or sober housing. 

The PHP program at The Fullbrook Center offers various evidence-based therapies, including: 

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
• Relapse prevention strategies
• Trauma-informed therapy
• Mindfulness practices
• Addiction education
• Individual therapy
• Group therapy
• Family support

This comprehensive approach addresses the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of alcohol and drug abuse, ensuring a holistic recovery process.

How is PHP Different From Outpatient and Inpatient Programs?

Compared to traditional outpatient treatment, PHPs offer a higher level of care, providing more support and structure. PHP bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient care, allowing clients to receive intensive treatment while continuing to engage in everyday life activities. 

While inpatient programs require clients to reside at the facility, PHPs provide flexibility by enabling participants to return home or to supportive housing after treatment sessions. This unique blend of structured care and independence makes PHPs ideal for those seeking evidence-based therapy and support after completing their residential commitment.

Benefits of Partial Hospitalization Programs

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers numerous advantages for individuals seeking addiction treatment.

• Flexibility: Clients can maintain their work or family responsibilities while receiving several hours of intensive care, making treatment more accessible.
• Accountability: The structured treatment environment in PHPs fosters accountability, promoting adherence to the recovery journey. 
• Intensive Care: PHP is a step above an intensive outpatient program in the continuum of care. A partial hospitalization program offers outpatient clients the needed structure to help them avoid triggers and overcome addiction.
• Therapeutic Modalities: Partial hospitalization rehab integrates various therapies, such as individual and group therapy, including family therapy for family members, ensuring a well-rounded approach to recovery.
• Cost Effective: One of the benefits of PHP is that they are a cost-effective alternative to inpatient or residential care, making addiction treatment more affordable and accessible to a broader population.

At The Fullbrook Center, our PHP services are provided with housing once a client has completed our residential treatment program. Therefore we include additional offerings like holistic therapies, wellness education, and medication management, further enhancing the recovery experience for our clients. With our PHP, individuals receive the same level of support as inpatient treatment while gradually transitioning back into their everyday lives.

How Long Does PHP Treatment Last?

At The Fullbrook Center, our PHP programs typically last around 20 days, providing intensive support during the initial recovery phase. However, we understand that each individual’s needs are unique, and treatment duration may vary accordingly. For some clients, PHP with housing may be recommended, extending the treatment to provide an experience closer to inpatient care.

We recognize the significance of dual diagnosis treatment for individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders, which often accompany substance use disorders. Our PHP offers specialized care to address both addiction and mental health issues concurrently, promoting better overall outcomes for our clients.
