Full-Day Outpatient Rehab

A partial hospitalization program for addiction is the most structured level of outpatient rehab. Treatment fills most of the weekday, and clients return to their homes across Orange County at the end of the afternoon. PHP here runs about 30 sessions, and each client moves to IOP once ready for a lower level of care. Day treatment gives clients enough hours to practice new coping skills and use them the same evening.

Signs Our Day Treatment Program Is the Right Fit

Day treatment works for people who can safely spend evenings at home but need several hours of care each day. These signs often point to PHP:

Repeated relapse after a period of sobriety
Cravings strong enough to need attention from a treatment team most days
An upcoming discharge from detox or residential treatment
Depression or anxiety alongside substance use that needs mental health care and psychiatric coordination
Substance use that keeps damaging health and relationships
Family duties that make a residential stay impossible right now
Long unplanned hours that keep ending in use

Addictions We Treat in Partial Hospitalization

Our partial hospitalization program treats every substance use disorder, and each plan addresses the medical risks of the substance involved. Cocaine and heroin use are part of that care. So are marijuana and kratom use, along with polysubstance use (using more than one substance).

Alcohol Addiction

Clients begin alcohol rehab in our PHP once alcohol withdrawal is medically managed. Group work targets social drinking triggers, and our therapists help clients write a plan for the evening hours after treatment.

Opioid Addiction

Our team treats opioid use disorder without judgment about how it began, from heroin use to a pain prescription that grew into dependence. Relapse prevention work names the high-risk situations and early warning signs tied to each client’s opioid use.

Fentanyl Addiction

Fentanyl appears in pills sold outside a pharmacy and in other street drugs, so a person can be exposed without knowing it. PHP keeps fentanyl clients in contact with our team throughout the weeks when that risk is highest.

Methamphetamine Addiction

We begin methamphetamine treatment once a person is medically and psychiatrically stable, including after past stimulant-induced psychosis (paranoia or hallucinations caused by the drug). Our fixed weekday schedule helps clients rebuild sleep and routine after long periods of heavy use.

Benzodiazepine Addiction

Benzodiazepines such as Xanax (alprazolam) and Klonopin (clonazepam) carry seizure risk when stopped suddenly, so dose decisions stay with the prescriber throughout PHP. Our therapists teach grounding and DBT skills for rebound anxiety (anxiety that returns stronger as the medication leaves the body).

Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug misuse includes taking Adderall (amphetamine and dextroamphetamine) beyond the prescribed dose, along with misuse of sedatives and muscle relaxers. Our team also evaluates clients who still take a prescribed medication, such as ADHD medication, and coordinates with the prescriber.

Admission Into Day Treatment

Admission to our PHP drug rehab starts with a free, confidential call and a review of your insurance benefits. The intake assessment pairs a biopsychosocial evaluation (a full review of health and daily life) with a substance use history and mental health screening. DSM-5 criteria and the ASAM Criteria then guide the level-of-care recommendation. Your treatment plan comes from those results, and the start date follows the assessment and any insurance authorization.

Step-Down From Detox or Residential Care

Step-down clients arrive from detox or residential treatment, and the intake assessment reviews the care they already received. That review keeps medications and progress continuous between levels of care.

Step-Up After a Relapse

A relapse during IOP or outpatient therapy leads to a step-up into PHP for more hours of care, and former clients and clients from other programs are welcome. The new assessment identifies the triggers behind the relapse, and the updated relapse prevention plan targets them from the first day.

Detox Referrals Before Admission

Physical dependence that needs medically supervised withdrawal means a detox referral comes first, and our team arranges it. The PHP assessment follows once the client is medically stable. Clients whose assessment shows no withdrawal risk may begin PHP without a detox stay.

Families Calling on Behalf of a Loved One

A spouse or parent can call admissions to learn how PHP works and what insurance covers. That information helps when the person refuses residential care but will consider day treatment. The person entering treatment completes the assessment and consents to care.

Your Treatment Day With Our Team

Each day of PHP drug treatment centers on group therapy and skills practice, with trauma-informed care for addiction guiding every session, so clients share personal history at their own pace. With client consent, a family member can sit in on a session with our case management team when it helps the treatment plan.

Group Therapy and Psychoeducation

We lead psychoeducation groups on cravings and relapse warning signs, so clients learn to recognize trouble before it leads to use. 12-Step principles shape our group discussions, and many clients attend a community meeting on the evenings after treatment, which we strongly encourage. Our skills groups teach mindfulness and grounding for the moment a craving starts. In the milieu (the peers in treatment together), clients notice changes in one another and hold each other accountable.

Weekly Individual Therapy

Each week, every client attends an individual therapy session focused on the personal triggers behind their substance use. These sessions turn the treatment plan into weekly targets through motivational goal-setting and track co-occurring symptoms, so mental health care stays part of the partial hospitalization program.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Our therapists start with real situations from the client’s week. Through CBT addiction treatment, clients identify the thoughts that lead to use, replace them with a planned response, and rehearse that response in session.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills

Strong emotions like anger and panic once led to use, so DBT addiction treatment in our PHP gives clients two sets of skills to handle them. Distress tolerance helps them stay safe through a painful moment, and emotional regulation helps them manage those feelings before they build. Clients practice both in groups before using them at home.

Ongoing Treatment Plan Reviews

Our clinical team reviews each client’s plan throughout PHP, tracking cravings, triggers, and relapse risk. Therapies and goals are adjusted as needs change, and the review guides when a client is ready to step down to IOP.

Case Management Alongside Treatment

Case management handles the obligations that full treatment days leave waiting, so clients stay focused on recovery. Our case managers help clients manage work, legal, and family responsibilities while in PHP, and connect them with stable, sober housing when needed. Before discharge, they plan the move to IOP and the aftercare that follows, so support continues once PHP ends.

Coordinated Psychiatric and Safety Care

As part of partial hospitalization addiction treatment, our team coordinates psychiatric and medical care with each client’s outside providers, while our own clinicians handle safety planning directly.

Evaluations and Prescriptions From Outside Providers

For clients facing a mental health condition alongside addiction, we arrange psychiatric evaluations with trusted outside psychiatrists while day treatment is still underway, often through our partner practice, Radiant Path Therapy and Psychiatry. They handle any medications, and we stay in touch with them so care stays connected.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

We accept clients on medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid or alcohol use after a clinical review of their medical stability and prescribing arrangements. Our team coordinates care with the client’s own prescriber throughout PHP, and every dosing decision stays with that provider.

Drug Testing and Overdose Prevention

Regular drug and alcohol tests help clients stay on track in their recovery. In-person clients are tested at our Brea center, and telehealth clients complete testing at an approved local lab. All results stay private. Since overdose risk goes up after time away from drugs, clients also learn how to stay safe and make a plan in case of relapse. Family members can learn how to recognize an overdose and use naloxone (Narcan), since partial hospitalization clients spend their evenings at home.

The Discharge Plan and Move to IOP

Discharge planning begins well before the final PHP day. Together, the client and our therapists choose an IOP schedule and name the skills that still need practice. Graduates of our drug and alcohol PHP keep the same therapists in IOP, which meets three hours a day, five days a week, in person or on Zoom, for about 60 days. This continuum of care typically totals about 90 days.

Before IOP ends, our aftercare program arranges referrals to outpatient services with Foothill Behavioral Health Consultants or Radiant Path Therapy and Psychiatry, and our team stays in contact through follow-up.

Insurance Verification Through Admissions

Before your first PHP day, our admissions team checks your benefits and explains what your plan covers for day treatment. We accept Blue Shield, Aetna, and Cigna, as well as Tricare for service members and military families. Many insurers require a medical necessity review and prior authorization before a partial hospitalization program begins, and admissions handles that step for you and explains any out-of-pocket costs. Private pay is also available for anyone without coverage.

Is PHP (partial hospitalization program) a drug?

No. PHP stands for partial hospitalization program, a structured day treatment program for substance use disorder with no connection to any medication or street drug.
