The battle against an addiction is a struggle that may require more than just the basic treatment. In some situations, you may be involved in the partial hospital program that segues into the residential care program.
What is Partial Hospitalization Treatment?
A partial hospitalization program provides professional medical supervision and care when a person enters into addiction treatment.
Those clients admitted directly to PHP will also participate in a psychiatric evaluation and meet with the Psychiatrist for medication management. They will participate in the same therapeutic activities as the Residential patients, Monday through Friday. Patients in this program are assigned to one of the Primary Therapists for treatment planning and case-management and they will meet with their Primary Therapist weekly.
When you are in the partial hospitalization program, you move into the residential program after getting the medical treatment that you require. After entering the residential program, you will undergo a psychiatric evaluation and a psychiatrist will provide appropriate medication management based on your situation.
How Partial Hospitalization Helps
After your time in the hospital, getting involved in the residential program will provide you with the opportunity to give up substance abuse and start living a drug-free lifestyle.
The primary way that it helps improve your ability to give up the substance is the intensive treatment plan. You will be involved in therapeutic activities that give you the tools to fight your addiction to drugs or alcohol five days a week.
Since your needs will vary from others in the program, you will have a personalized plan of activities and treatments that are appropriate for your needs. If your physical health does not allow you to undergo certain activities, then alternatives are provided so that you can still reach your recovery goals.
Beyond the personalization and intensive treatment sessions, the program also provides assistance by identifying the reasons for your addiction and giving you the tools to overcome those underlying causes that are making it easy to keep taking the substance.
Why Partial Hospitalization Works
The primary residential treatment works for a few different reasons. The reasons that the program works include:
Customized treatment plans that are designed around your needs
Identification of different key problems that contribute to substance abuse
Professional support that helps guide you to reach your goals
Creation of realistic goals based on your current health and needs
By focusing the treatment plan on your needs and goals, it is possible to fight against the addiction and win the uphill battle.
Where It Occurs
The partial hospitalization program starts out in the hospital where you receive medical treatment and then shifts into the treatment facility. During the residential program, you will stay in the apartments provided by the facility and you will undergo treatment Monday through Friday at the facility.
Recovering from an addiction is challenging, but the help of professionals in a residential program can help. By getting personalized treatment, you are able to work through the problems that contribute to addiction and find solutions that allow you to give up the substance.
