Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

About PHP

What is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the most intensive level of outpatient care available. Designed for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient treatment but do not require 24-hour residential care, PHP provides a structured, full-day clinical environment 5 days per week.

At Golden State Rehab, our PHP runs Monday through Friday from approximately 9am to 3pm, offering approximately 6 hours of therapeutic programming each day. Clients return home or to a sober living environment each evening, maintaining some connection to daily life while receiving the intensive support they need to stabilize and heal.
