What Is A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive, structured form of outpatient addiction treatment that provides comprehensive psychiatric care while allowing patients to return home each evening.
PHPs serve as a middle ground between inpatient and traditional outpatient therapy, offering a higher level of care for individuals who need significant support but don’t require 24-hour supervision.
PHPs typically operate 5-7 days per week, with sessions lasting 4-8 hours each day. During this time, clients engage in various therapeutic activities, including:
- Individual therapy sessions with licensed mental health professionals
- Group therapy focusing on specific issues or coping skills
- Medication management with psychiatric providers
- Educational components about mental health conditions
- Life skills and wellness training
Our PHP in Nashville is designed for people experiencing acute substance use disorder symptoms that interfere with daily functioning but who can safely remain in their home environment with proper support.
PHPs can serve as a step-down from inpatient care or as an intervention to prevent hospitalization.
How Do I Know I Need A Partial Hospitalization Program?
Because a Partial Hospitalization Program allows you to maintain some flexibility in your daily life, it may not be an appropriate level of care for anyone.
The following signs may indicate that PHP is the appropriate next step in your recovery journey:
- You’re struggling with substance use but have a stable living environment and support system that makes 24-hour care unnecessary. Your home life is supportive enough to maintain sobriety during evenings and weekends, but you need structured support during the day.
- You’ve recently completed inpatient treatment but feel uncertain about managing recovery with only weekly therapy sessions. PHP can provide the additional support needed to strengthen your recovery skills and gradually transition to more independent living.
- Your current outpatient therapy or support groups aren’t providing enough structure to maintain sobriety. You find yourself struggling between sessions and need more frequent therapeutic support to stay on track.
- You’re experiencing a dual diagnosis disorder (mental health and substance use challenges) that require coordinated care and medication management. PHP offers comprehensive treatment that addresses both concerns simultaneously.
- Previous attempts at recovery through less intensive programs haven’t provided the level of support you need. You’re ready to commit to a more structured program but want to maintain some independence in your daily life.

Our Partial Hospitalization Program Therapies
Our comprehensive treatment approach combines evidence-based therapies to address both the physical and psychological aspects of substance use disorders.
Each therapy is carefully selected to support different aspects of your recovery journey, providing you with a complete toolkit for lasting sobriety.
Psychiatry
Our psychiatrists specialize in treating complex dual diagnosis disorders of addiction and mental health through careful evaluation and medication management. Their expertise helps stabilize underlying mental health conditions that may contribute to substance use, significantly improving your chances of sustained recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication-Assisted Treatment combines FDA-approved medications with counseling to help reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms safely. This evidence-based approach allows you to focus on your therapy work while maintaining physical comfort and stability throughout your recovery process.
Music Therapy
Music therapy provides a creative outlet for processing emotions and reducing stress without the need for substances. Through musical expression and engagement in PHP, you’ll discover new ways to cope with triggers and build a stronger connection to your recovery journey.
Biosound Therapy
Biosound therapy combines biofeedback and sound frequencies to reduce anxiety and stress common in early recovery. The therapy helps regulate your nervous system, making it easier to maintain emotional stability without turning to substances.
Family Therapy
Family therapy helps heal relationships damaged by addiction while building a strong support system for your recovery. Through guided sessions, families learn to communicate effectively and create an environment that supports long-term sobriety.
Holistic Therapy
Holistic therapy approaches like meditation and yoga provide natural ways to manage stress and anxiety without substances. These practices help you develop a healthy mind-body connection that supports your overall recovery journey.
How Effective Is A Partial Hospitalization Program?
Research supports PHP’s effectiveness in treating mental health and substance use disorders. A study in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry found that PHP participants showed significant symptom improvement, with 60-70% maintaining gains at 6-month follow-up.
The American Journal of Psychiatry reported that PHP completion rates exceed 70%, with improved outcomes in social functioning and reduced hospitalization rates.
Treatment Level Comparisons
Understanding the different levels of addiction treatment is crucial for choosing the right path for your recovery journey.
Each level of care serves a specific purpose and meets different needs in the recovery process. At Music City Detox, the staff at our PHP in Nashville believes in helping you make an informed decision about your treatment by clearly explaining how our program fits into the broader spectrum of care options.
Here’s how our Partial Hospitalization Program compares to other levels of treatment:
Partial Hospitalization vs. Detox
While detox programs focus on safely managing withdrawal symptoms under medical supervision, PHP provides comprehensive therapeutic support for ongoing recovery. Detox typically precedes PHP when needed.
Partial Hospitalization vs. Inpatient Treatment
Inpatient rehab provides 24/7 care in a residential setting, while PHP offers intensive daily treatment with the flexibility to return home. PHP is often more cost-effective and allows practice of recovery skills in real-world settings.
