Thoughtfully Structured Care for the Next Phase of Recovery
There comes a time when recovery must meet life where it is without sacrificing discretion, professionalism, or depth of care. For those navigating the complexity of healing while remaining tethered to essential personal or professional responsibilities, Shore Point Recovery coordinates exceptional partial hospitalization programming with the same clinical precision, warmth, and integrity that define every level of care we deliver.
Through our established partnerships with elite programs across the country, clients receive a seamless continuum of support, always with their privacy safeguarded and their journey to wellness respected at every step.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides an immersive level of care without requiring an overnight stay, allowing for structured, therapeutic engagement by day and the privacy of home or supportive housing by night. It is a thoughtfully balanced solution, particularly for individuals stepping down from residential treatment or those requiring more than outpatient support.
Each day typically includes individual therapy, group counseling, wellness integration, and psychiatric oversight. Programs run five to seven days per week, offering a rhythm of care that supports emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring, and ongoing stabilization.
At a glance, PHP offers:
- Daily clinical programming, typically 6–8 hours per day
- Ongoing medical and psychiatric supervision
- Access to trauma-informed therapies and wellness services
- A structured environment with increased autonomy
- Supportive transition from residential to outpatient care
Why Choose PHP After Residential Treatment?
Partial hospitalization is a bridge, a continuation of healing that supports reentry into life. For many, it represents a next step toward sustainable autonomy, allowing for the integration of clinical progress into daily living.
Stabilization with Flexibility
PHP maintains therapeutic momentum while reintroducing independence, making it ideal for clients ready to navigate real-world stressors with structured support.
Clinical Depth Without Residential Constraints
PHP includes the same caliber of therapeutic interventions as residential care—individual counseling, group therapy, family support, and medical oversight—but offers evenings for reflection, family reconnection, or transitional housing.
Enhanced Continuity of Care
Clients who complete residential treatment at Shore Point receive coordinated referrals to PHP partners who align with our exacting clinical standards, ensuring seamless progression through the continuum of care.
Privacy and Discretion Preserved
As with all services coordinated by Shore Point Recovery, referrals to PHP providers are handled with absolute confidentiality. For high-profile individuals or those requiring anonymity, we arrange programming that respects both their privacy and their progress.
What to Expect in PHP Programming
While the structure and clinical approach may vary slightly between trusted providers, Shore Point–approved PHP programs share a consistent commitment to excellence.

Frequently Asked
Questions About Recovery
What is PHP rehab, and how does it work for addiction treatment?
In the most discerning settings, a partial hospitalization program offers the sophistication of a residential treatment experience without the need to stay overnight. Clients engage in a curated schedule of intensive therapies, psychiatric oversight, and wellness services during the day, then return to the privacy and comfort of their own home or a secure, supportive residence in the evening. This balance allows for both deep clinical engagement and the autonomy to maintain personal and professional rhythms.
Who qualifies for a Partial Hospitalization Program, and is PHP right for me?
PHP is ideal for individuals who are medically stable, highly motivated, and committed to engaging in a structured daily program while valuing the flexibility to manage select life obligations. It is especially suited for those stepping down from a residential program or stepping up from standard outpatient care, and for those whose recovery journey requires discretion, personalized attention, and seamless coordination.
What happens during a typical day in PHP addiction treatment?
Each day is intentionally designed to maximize therapeutic impact while maintaining an atmosphere of refinement and privacy. Mornings may focus on individual psychotherapy or high-level group sessions; afternoons often integrate specialized modalities, wellness experiences, and restorative practices. The pacing ensures clinical work is complemented by opportunities to process, reflect, and apply new strategies in a real-world context.
What conditions does PHP treat, and what types of therapy are included?
Beyond addressing substance use disorders, our team of clinicians specializes in co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and mood dysregulation. Clients may engage in evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, enhanced by holistic services such as mindfulness, nutritional optimization, yoga, or creative expression for a truly comprehensive and personalized care experience.
What are the requirements to enter a PHP addiction treatment program?
Entry into a PHP typically requires that clients are both physically and emotionally stable enough to participate without 24-hour supervision, have a safe and supportive living environment, and can reliably commit to the program’s daily schedule. Our team ensures every referral aligns with these criteria, arranging only with providers whose discretion, expertise, and standards reflect our own.
What happens after completing a PHP program for addiction?
Completion of PHP marks a transition, not an ending. Many clients move into an intensive outpatient program, personalized outpatient therapy, or private recovery coaching, maintaining an unbroken thread of support. At this level, aftercare is not generic; it is strategically designed, coordinated, and monitored to protect progress and sustain wellness, allowing clients to re-enter their lives with confidence and discretion intact.
