Partial Hospitalization Program

Recovery doesn’t end when residential treatment does—and it doesn’t have to begin with it either. For many people, healing starts with finding the right balance: daily support, structure, and accountability, without the need to stay overnight in a treatment facility.

That’s exactly what our partial hospitalization program (PHP) at Yellowstone Recovery is designed to provide.

Located in Orange County, CA, Yellowstone Recovery has been helping individuals and families overcome addiction for more than 25 years. Our PHP is ideal for those who are ready to engage in recovery full-time during the day while continuing to live at home or in a sober living environment.

It’s a strong next step—or a solid starting point—for people committed to long-term change.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A partial hospitalization program is a form of outpatient care that offers intensive, structured treatment during the day without requiring an overnight stay. At Yellowstone Recovery, PHP clients attend programming five days a week for several hours each day, then return home or to a sober living environment each night.

A PHP is often the next step after completing detox or inpatient care, but it can also be a starting point for people who don’t need 24/7 supervision. This level of care is especially beneficial if you:

• Need daily structure and accountability to stay on track
• Are managing both substance use and mental health challenges
• Have a stable home or sober living environment
• Want to return to work or school soon, but still need support during the day

Our goal is to meet you where you are and help you keep moving forward—without losing momentum.

What to Expect in Yellowstone Recovery’s Partial Hospitalization Program

When you join our PHP, you’ll be part of a small, supportive treatment community. Your days will be structured with services designed to support your recovery, improve coping skills, and prepare you for a successful transition into long-term sobriety. You can expect:

• Individual therapy to work through personal challenges and treatment goals
• Group sessions focused on relapse prevention, life skills, and peer support
• Mental health support for co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or trauma
• Medical monitoring and support for those managing medications or physical health needs

• Life skills training to build practical tools in budgeting, job readiness, communication, and healthy living habits
• Holistic services such as yoga, meditation, and fitness activities that support physical and emotional well-being

We also coordinate with trusted sober living homes in Orange County and can assist with placement if you’re looking for a structured, substance-free environment outside of treatment hours.

FAQs

What does PHP stand for in rehab?

PHP stands for partial hospitalization program. In a rehab setting, it refers to a structured, intensive level of outpatient care where clients attend treatment during the day but do not stay overnight. This type of program is also referred to as day treatment.

How long does a PHP last?

Length of stay varies based on individual progress, but many clients participate in a PHP for several weeks before stepping down to intensive outpatient or outpatient care.

Do I need to live in a sober living home?

Not necessarily. Clients can live in their own homes if the environment supports recovery. If not, we can help you find a reputable sober living option nearby.

Does insurance cover the program?

Many insurance plans include coverage for PHP services. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain what your plan covers before you begin treatment.

Can I work or go to school during a PHP?

A partial hospitalization program is a daytime commitment, typically five days a week, so it may be challenging to maintain a full-time schedule. As you progress, we’ll help you plan your next steps and reintegrate responsibilities at a manageable pace.
