What Does “Partial Hospitalization Program” or “PHP” mean?
“Partial hospitalization program,” or “PHP,” is an outdated and confusing term. PHP is the highest level of outpatient (i.e., non-residential) mental health care. There are no overnight stays at a facility or hospital; patients live at home and attend programming during the day.
Core Recovery has two separate PHP Mental Health programs—one for adults and one for adolescents. Core’s mental health PHP programs treat individuals struggling with a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, PTSD, bipolar disorder (BPD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), personality disorders, and more.
Core Recovery’s Mental Health PHP Program provides comprehensive, integrated care, five days per week. Core Recovery’s clinical team includes therapists, psychiatric professionals, registered dietitians, and case managers, all of whom work collaboratively to meet the individualized needs of every patient.
Mental Health Treatment Tailored to Your Needs
From the first day of treatment, the Core Recovery clinical team engages warmly, honestly, and empathetically with every patient to develop a customized treatment plan that is tailored to meeting that patient’s unique clinical needs and personal goals. As a Core Recovery patient, your individualized treatment plan will include a combination of group therapy, individual therapy, creative expression therapy, family therapy, and psychiatric/medication management. Treatment plans are further customized to provide additional treatment options that may be best suited to your challenges and goals, including EMDR therapy and diet and nutrition counseling.
Evidence-Based Treatment
Core Recovery uses evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)—to provide each patient with an enriching therapeutic experience that propels their treatment forward in a manner that is supported by the latest research and treatments methodologies.

A Shared Commitment to Your Success
Patients enter PHP programs for different reasons. Some may choose to take time away from work or school to receive the mental health care that they need to return to their ordinary routines. Others may be discharging from a residential care facility and looking for “step-down” care. In either case, the decision to participate in a partial hospitalization program is a significant choice that affects you and your loved ones.
At Core Recovery, our commitment to you is that we will stand shoulder to shoulder with you on your treatment journey. From the moment you enter our PHP program, we will work together towards a shared goal of reducing the amount of care that you require (from PHP, to IOP, and ultimately to weekly therapy sessions) in a way that promotes sustained wellness and recovery.
