California Programs
Partial Hospitalization Program
in Woodland Hills, CA.
The structure of inpatient with the freedom to sleep at home. Intensive clinical care, full days, real life.
What it is
What is Partial Hospitalization Program?
Partial Hospitalization is the highest level of outpatient care — ASAM Level 2.5. Most clients attend 5 to 6 days a week for full-day clinical programming (20–30 hours weekly), then return home or to sober living each evening.
PHP is the right level of care when you need the structure and intensity of inpatient treatment but don't require 24-hour medical or residential supervision. Many clients step down from inpatient or detox into PHP, then continue to IOP and outpatient as they progress.
