What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the most structured level of outpatient substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders treatment. It provides intensive care for 6-8 hours a day, and 5 days a week while allowing you to return home or to sober living afterward.
Our PHP rehab in Los Angeles is customized to your diagnosis, needs, and goals, but it typically involves:
- Multiple scheduled treatment sessions per week
- Individual and group therapy
- Medication management
- Coping skills and life skills training
- Relapse prevention planning
- Aftercare planning and practical recovery services
At Create Recovery, PHP can be a standalone treatment option or the next step after detox or residential care. Many clients then step down to our intensive outpatient program after completing PHP, and our team collaborates for that transition with you.
Who Our PHP Program Is Designed For
Our PHP rehab program in Los Angeles is recommended for adults who:
- Recently completed detox or a residential treatment program
- Need daily structure in early recovery
- Feel at risk of relapse without clinical support
- Manage both substance misuse and mental health symptoms
- Want intensive care without living at a facility
- Need more structure and clinical oversight than standard outpatient care
For many, our PHP level of care provides the balance needed to continue recovery safely.
Our PHP is not the right level of care if you:
- Need medical detox. We refer you to a detox provider and admit you to PHP afterward.
- Need 24/7 supervision for safety and stability risks. Our team can refer you to a residential program.
If you are in a crisis or emergency, call or text 9-8-8, or call 9-1-1 immediately.
What a Day in Our PHP Program in Los Angeles Looks Like

Can You Study or Work While in PHP in Los Angeles?
One of the most common questions about outpatient rehab is whether going to school, college, or work is possible during treatment.
As our PHP program in Los Angeles runs 6-8 hours a day, Monday to Friday, many clients:
- Take some time off from school/college and work during early recovery
- Reduce work hours temporarily
- Transition to a less intensive program later
If you need to keep working or studying, our IOP offers daytime and evening schedules. We can collaborate and find the best level of care and schedule for you.
