Understanding the PHP level of care
A Partial Hospitalization Program, commonly called PHP, is a structured outpatient level of care. Participants do not reside at the treatment facility. At River City Recovery, PHP is part of a broader set of adult outpatient addiction and mental health services. Whether PHP is suitable depends on an assessment, current needs, and the person's ability to participate in the program.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is structured outpatient care
- An assessment helps determine whether PHP may fit
The name can sound similar to inpatient hospital care, but it should not be confused with residential treatment or emergency stabilization. Admissions can explain the available structure and help determine whether further assessment for PHP is a reasonable next step.
Services that may support PHP participation

River City Recovery's services include individual therapy, medication management, clinical or medical assessments, medical oversight, drug testing and monitoring, case management, family support, and care coordination. The services relevant to a particular participant depend on treatment needs and planning.
- PHP is one option within broader outpatient care
- Your treatment plan guides which supports are relevant
PHP may be considered when a person is exploring more structure than less intensive outpatient services provide, but no single description establishes clinical fit. The team can also discuss IOP, evening IOP, and outpatient therapy. These alternatives allow callers to understand the broader outpatient continuum rather than assuming PHP is the only available choice.
Accessing PHP from Alpharetta
River City Recovery's PHP is delivered at 3822 Rosemont Drive in Columbus. Anyone considering travel should account for transportation time, attendance expectations, work, family care, and other daily obligations. These practical factors are important because PHP is a structured program.
- PHP requires travel to the Columbus, GA facility
- Work and caregiving can affect regular participation
Facility hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, although callers should confirm the specific PHP schedule directly. If regular travel to Columbus is not practical, ask whether care coordination or a referral may help identify another path.

Assessment, payment questions, and next steps
Begin by sharing the main concerns, current supports, medication information, and any barriers to attendance. Admissions can explain the starting process and arrange the next appropriate discussion. If insurance may be used, provide current plan information for verification.
- Benefit verification may clarify available plan information
- Referrals support needs beyond the outpatient scope
Verification can clarify available benefits, authorization questions, and possible cost-sharing, but it does not guarantee insurer payment or admission. When needs fall outside PHP and the other outpatient programs, the team can discuss care coordination and referrals.
