Partial Hospitalization Treatment Program in Ohio

What Is A Partial Hospitalization Program?  

The Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP is the most intensive form of outpatient substance abuse treatment available in Ohio. PHP treatment is often a good fit for individuals who require more support than traditional outpatient services can offer but do not need round-the-clock supervision provided by inpatient care.

PHP care at the White Light Behavioral Health in Columbus, OH runs for about 5 hours per day, 5 days a week. This arrangement enables clients to engage in a full day of addiction treatment, without the need for overnight stays at a clinical facility. This outpatient care option is appropriate for people who have either completed higher levels of care (like detox or residential) or who don’t require 24-hour clinical support. Clients in our Ohio PHP also enjoy the flexibility of living at home or in sober living accommodations.

The PHP at White Light includes a variety of therapeutic modalities, access to medical and psychiatric care, and the structure needed for lasting recovery, all without the round-the-clock commitment of residential inpatient treatment. PHP serves as a critical step down from inpatient care or a step up from less intensive outpatient programs, offering a balanced approach to addiction treatment. 

Is a PHP for Addiction Right for Me?  

The Partial Hospitalization Program at White Light may be a good fit, if you:

• Have completed detox and/or residential rehab and are ready to progress to outpatient care, but still want robust support.
• Require more therapy and counseling than traditional outpatient treatment offers, but do not need 24/7 clinical care.
• Are ready to live at home or in a sober living environment while continuing their addiction treatment.
• Will benefit from the support and fellowship of others who are at a similar stage in their recovery. 
• Have a stable living situation that supports their recovery efforts outside of treatment hours.

 Addiction treatment at the PHP level may not be appropriate yet if you:

• Still require a medical detox to address withdrawal from opioids, alcohol or other substances. 
• Don’t feel ready to return home or to stay in a sober living home without overnight clinical observation.
• Exhibit self-harm behaviors or may be a risk to your own safety or the safety of others. 

PHP at White Light Behavioral Health is just one level of addiction care offered in our comprehensive, evidence-based treatment program.

What Substance Use Disorders Do We Treat?  

At White Light Behavioral Health, we understand that while addiction has many common threads, everyone’s experience is a bit different. We honor those differences by offering a comprehensive treatment program that incorporates medical detox, residential treatment and outpatient addiction care options, like partial hospitalization. 

We treat dependence and addiction to the following substances, and many more:

• Alcohol
• Adderall
• Benzodiazepine
• Cocaine
• Fentanyl
• Heroin
• Klonopin
• Meth
• Opioid
• Suboxone
• Xanax

Among outpatient addiction treatment options, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are the two most popular levels of care. 

Here’s a brief overview to understand these two types of treatment:

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) provide structured treatment on a part-time bases, allowing individuals to stay connected to work, school or other responsibilities on a reduced schedule. The standard for IOP treatment is about 3 hours per day, 3 times per week for a total of ~9 hours a week. The focus is on group therapy, although individual counseling may also be included, alongside support for substance abuse and mental health issues.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), on the other hand, offer a more intensive level of care with about 5 hours of treatment per day, 5 days a week. PHPs provide treatment intensity similar to residential care, without the need for overnight stays at a clinical facility. PHPs include comprehensive services such as medical monitoring, individual and group therapy, and support for co-occurring disorders.
