Understanding the Program

What is a PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a specialized form of treatment designed to bridge the gap between inpatient/residential care and outpatient services. Offering a structured treatment environment for about 4 to 8 hours a day, PHPs support individuals with substance use and co-occurring disorders in a setting that allows them to return home each night.

Understanding the American Society of Addiction Medicine's Levels of Care is essential in recognizing where PHPs stand. Ranked as Level 2, PHPs provide a vital step in the continuum of care, offering more intensive services than traditional outpatient programs but without the need for 24-hour supervision.

Navigating the financial aspects of Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) can seem like a daunting task at first glance. The cost of PHPs indeed varies significantly based on several key factors, making it essential for individuals and their families to understand what influences these costs. Factors such as the length of treatment required, the specific type of PHP (community-based or hospital-based), and the range of services utilized (like individual therapy sessions, group therapy, and medical management) all play a critical role in determining the overall cost.

Additionally, the geographical location of the treatment center can impact costs, with programs in certain areas being more expensive than others. PHPs are generally considered more cost-effective compared to inpatient or residential treatment options due to the non-residential nature of the program. Despite the intensive level of care provided, the ability for patients to return home each night helps reduce the cost associated with round-the-clock care found in inpatient settings.

Is This Program Right for You?

Who Should Verify Benefits?

These legislative acts have been pivotal in ensuring that mental health and substance use disorder services receive coverage on par with medical and surgical services. The ACA mandates that all insurance plans, except for those grandfathered in, include coverage for mental health and substance use disorders. This inclusion is a huge step forward, ensuring that treatment for these conditions is accessible and affordable for those in need.

We verify benefits for detox, PHP, IOP, and outpatient addiction treatment, including dual diagnosis care when covered by your plan.
