What a Partial Hospitalization Program means
A Partial Hospitalization Program, commonly called PHP, is a structured level of outpatient care. It provides more program structure than IOP or standard outpatient therapy while allowing participants to live in the community outside treatment hours. An overnight setting involves a different level of care from the published outpatient programs.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides structured outpatient care
- Assessment helps determine if PHP fits your needs
PHP may be considered when a person needs significant support but an outpatient setting remains appropriate. The decision depends on current substance use or mental health concerns, medical and clinical needs, stability, and practical factors. A clinical or medical assessment can help determine whether PHP or another level should be considered.

Starting the PHP admissions process

An admissions call gives you an opportunity to describe your concerns and ask direct questions. Useful information may include recent substance use, mental health symptoms, prior treatment, current medications, medical concerns, and scheduling needs. Honest details help clarify whether an assessment should be arranged and what information may be needed.
- An admissions call begins the PHP process
- Facility hours are weekdays from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
River City Recovery offers facility hours as Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. These are facility hours and do not indicate around-the-clock admissions. If insurance may be used, ask for verification of your plan and the proposed services. Named insurer participation or payment should never be assumed without verification.
When another form of care may be needed
PHP is not a replacement for emergency care, crisis stabilization, onsite medical detox, or inpatient treatment. A person with possible withdrawal risks should communicate that concern during the initial conversation so the need for another evaluation or referral can be considered.
- PHP does not replace emergency or detox care
- Referrals may support needs beyond outpatient services
For an immediate emergency, use an appropriate emergency service rather than waiting for a routine program response. When needs fall outside River City Recovery’s outpatient scope, care coordination and referrals may help identify a more suitable next step. The goal of the initial conversation is to understand needs, not to force a particular program.
