Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Orlando, FL

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is full-day, structured treatment for addiction or mental health that you attend most days of the week without staying overnight in a hospital. At Orlando Recovery Center, PHP is often the next step after detox or residential care, and it can also be where treatment starts when 24-hour care isn’t needed.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

PHP sits between inpatient (residential) care and outpatient care. You get the same kinds of therapy as in residential treatment, such as individual therapy, group therapy and medical and psychiatric care, but you are not in a 24-hour treatment setting.

At a glance

Substance use PHP and mental health PHP

Orlando Recovery Center runs two PHP tracks:

  • Substance use PHP for alcohol and drug addiction, including people with a co-occurring mental health condition.
  • Mental health PHP for conditions such as depression, anxiety and trauma-related disorders.

Your care team decides which track fits after an assessment.

How long does PHP last?

Length of stay depends on your clinical needs, your progress and your insurance. As a guide, substance use PHP at our center typically lasts 14–21 days, and mental health PHP typically lasts 21–28 days.

After PHP: stepping down

Many people step down to an intensive outpatient program (IOP) after PHP. IOP is offered at our sister facility, Orlando Outpatient Center in Maitland, so your care can continue close to home.

Does insurance cover PHP?

Many plans cover partial hospitalization when it’s medically necessary. Orlando Recovery Center is in network with several major insurers, including Aetna, Florida Blue (BCBS), Cigna and UnitedHealthcare/Optum.

Coverage depends on your plan, so the fastest way to know is to verify your insurance or call us.

Who Is PHP a Good Fit For?

PHP may be a good fit if you’re medically stable, don’t need 24-hour monitoring and have a safe, supportive place to be outside program hours. Your care team may also recommend it if any of these apply to you:

If you need medical supervision for withdrawal, medical detox comes first. If you need round-the-clock care, inpatient rehab may be the better starting point.

What a PHP Day Looks Like

A typical day mixes group therapy (for example, CBT and DBT skills), individual therapy, medical and psychiatric check-ins, relapse prevention and coping skills, with family involvement when appropriate.

FAQs About Our Partial Hospitalization Program

Is drug or alcohol detox included?

No. Medical detox is a separate program. If you need detox, you’ll complete it first and start PHP when your care team says you’re ready.

Inpatient (residential) rehab provides 24-hour care. PHP provides full days of treatment without a 24-hour stay.

PHP involves more hours per day and more days per week than IOP. IOP for our patients takes place at Orlando Outpatient Center.

PHP takes up most of the day, so most people take time off. Our admissions team can talk about leave options.

Yes. We have a mental health PHP track for adults whose main concern is a mental health condition.
