Understanding the Program
What Is a PHP for Addiction?
Partial hospitalization is a day-treatment program that provides intensive clinical care — group therapy, individual sessions, and skill-building — without requiring you to live at the facility overnight.
A typical day in PHP may include group therapy, psychoeducational groups, skill building, and individual therapy for the issues driving addictive behaviors. PHP provides the comprehensive structure of inpatient care while integrating the real-life coping skills of an intensive outpatient program.
For patients using PHP as an alternative to inpatient treatment, we provide medical supervision and support so you can recover in a safe, non-hospital environment. Every patient receives a formal assessment and individualized treatment plan based on their current situation, medical history, and family history.
Before transitioning to outpatient care, PHP introduces stress management, relapse prevention, and life skills — relationship building, coping strategies, and holistic practices that support a balanced approach to recovery.
PHP gives you the intensity of residential treatment during the day — and the comfort of home at night.

Clinical Monitoring

Is This Program Right for You?
Who PHP Is Best For
PHP is often the right fit for people who need more support than standard outpatient therapy but don't need 24/7 inpatient care. It's ideal if you're medically stable, motivated for recovery, and need a strong daily routine with clinical structure.
Many clients enter PHP after completing detox or residential treatment as a step-down. Others start here when inpatient care isn't necessary but weekly therapy isn't enough.
PHP does not include an overnight stay. Clients return home after treatment or may stay in a separate supportive living environment when appropriate.
- You're medically stable and don't need 24/7 supervision
- You've completed detox or inpatient and need structured step-down care
- You need more than outpatient therapy but want to sleep at home
- You have co-occurring mental health conditions requiring daily support
What we treat
Substance Use Disorders Addressed in PHP
Partial hospitalization may be appropriate for people recovering from alcohol or drug use who are medically stable and able to return to a safe living environment after treatment each day.
- Alcohol use disorder
- Opioid use disorder
- Fentanyl or heroin use
- Prescription opioid misuse
- Benzodiazepine misuse
- Cocaine use disorder
- Methamphetamine or other stimulant use

PHP is not a replacement for medically supervised withdrawal care. Someone experiencing active or potentially dangerous withdrawal may need detoxification or another higher level of care before beginning PHP.
This information is for education and planning only and is not medical advice. Medication choices, detox protocols, and level-of-care decisions require a clinical assessment.
Treatment for Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions
Substance use can occur alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. New Hope's dual diagnosis approach allows the treatment plan to address substance use and co-occurring symptoms together rather than treating them as unrelated problems.
Admissions
What Happens During the PHP Admission Process?
- 01
Confidential Admissions Conversation
The process begins with a confidential call. An admissions specialist gathers basic information about the person's current substance use, immediate concerns, previous treatment, living situation, and insurance coverage.
- 02
Insurance and Payment Review
The admissions team can review available benefit information, including network status, deductibles, coinsurance, prior authorization, and other plan requirements. Verification explains known plan details but is not a guarantee of payment or admission.
- 03
Clinical Assessment
A clinical assessment evaluates substance use history, withdrawal risk, physical and mental health needs, safety, previous treatment, medications, family support, and the recovery environment. This assessment helps determine whether PHP is appropriate or whether another level of care may be safer.
- 04
Individualized Treatment Plan
When PHP is recommended, the treatment team develops goals and services based on the assessment. Depending on clinical need, the plan may include individual counseling, group therapy, family involvement, medication support, dual diagnosis care, relapse prevention, and case management.
- 05
Progress Review and Step-Down Planning
The treatment team reviews progress throughout care. As a client becomes ready for less intensive support, the next step may include intensive outpatient treatment, standard outpatient care, sober living, community recovery support, or alumni services.

Cost & payment
What Does Addiction PHP Cost in Knoxville?
The cost of a partial hospitalization program depends on the services included, the length of treatment, the insurance network, prior-authorization requirements, the remaining deductible, copayments, and coinsurance.
New Hope Healthcare Institute offers confidential insurance-benefit verification before treatment begins. The admissions team can explain the benefit information provided by the insurer and discuss known financial responsibilities. Insurance verification is not a guarantee that a claim will be paid, and final coverage depends on the plan, medical necessity, authorization, and continued eligibility.
People planning to self-pay should ask admissions for an estimate based on the recommended level and expected length of care.

Safety
When a Higher Level of Care May Be Needed
PHP is intended for people who can participate safely without overnight supervision. A different level of care may be recommended when someone:
A clinical assessment helps determine the appropriate level of care. In an immediate medical or safety emergency, call 911. People experiencing a mental health or suicide crisis can call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Consider a higher level of care when someone
- Has active withdrawal that requires medical monitoring
- Needs 24-hour medical or psychiatric supervision
- Has an unstable medical condition
- Cannot remain safe outside treatment hours
- Does not have a stable recovery environment
- Needs inpatient psychiatric stabilization
- Is experiencing an immediate emergency

Level of care
PHP vs IOP: which fits?
PHP offers more clinical hours and structure than intensive outpatient (IOP). Choose PHP when you need near-daily support but can safely return home each night; choose IOP when a lighter multi-day schedule is clinically appropriate and sustainable with work or school.
| Factor | PHP | IOP |
|---|---|---|
| Intensity | Higher — near full-day structure | Moderate — several sessions/week |
| Overnight | No — evenings at home / sober living | No — live at home |
| Best when | Stepping down from inpatient or needing more than IOP | Stable enough for fewer weekly hours |
| Common next step | Step down to IOP or outpatient | Step down to outpatient / alumni |

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question here? Our admissions team is available around the clock — every call is free and confidential.
Call 24/7: 866-806-1027The length of PHP depends on clinical needs, treatment progress, attendance, insurance authorization, and readiness to move to a lower level of care. New Hope's treatment team reviews progress regularly and recommends the next level of care based on each person's needs.
PHP is an intensive daytime treatment program that currently involves several hours of care per day, five days per week. Working a full daytime schedule may be difficult. Admissions can explain the current program schedule. People who are clinically ready for fewer treatment hours may be better suited for an intensive outpatient program.
PHP itself does not include an overnight stay. Clients return home after programming or may live in a separate sober or supportive living environment when appropriate. Ask admissions whether supportive housing options are available and whether they are separate from the cost of PHP.
Not everyone needs detox before PHP. A clinical assessment considers the substance used, amount and frequency of use, time since last use, withdrawal history, medical conditions, and current symptoms. People at risk for dangerous withdrawal may need medical detox before beginning PHP.
Medication may be included or coordinated when clinically appropriate and within New Hope's current scope of care. The treatment team evaluates medical history, substance use, current medications, and recovery goals before making recommendations.
Inpatient rehab includes living onsite with 24/7 supervision. PHP is day treatment — you receive intensive therapy and clinical care during the day, then go home or to a separate supportive living environment at night.
IOP typically involves fewer hours per week than PHP. PHP is more intensive and structured. Many people start in PHP and step down to IOP as they stabilize and build recovery skills.
Coverage, deductibles, coinsurance, copayments, medical necessity requirements, and authorization vary by plan. New Hope offers confidential insurance-benefit verification before treatment begins. Verification explains known plan details but is not a guarantee of payment or admission.
