Partial Hospitalization Program
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of outpatient care we provide. It offers a structured and supportive environment with daily programming to help you focus on recovery while still living at home. This program is designed for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24-hour inpatient care.
Through a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, skill-building workshops, and personalized treatment plans, the PHP helps you address challenges, develop coping strategies, and make meaningful progress in a safe and consistent setting. With the guidance of our experienced professionals, you can work toward long-term recovery while maintaining connections with your family, work, or school life, giving you the balance and support needed to thrive.
The highest level of outpatient care, structured day treatment 5 days a week while you live at home.
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Fortify Wellness is the highest level of outpatient care in Granada Hills, CA for adults who need daily structure but not 24-hour inpatient care. Sessions run 5 days a week, 6 to 8 hours a day, combining individual, group, and family therapy with psychiatric support. We accept most major insurance.
PHP is the right level of care when you need intensive daily support but are medically stable enough to live at home. It tends to fit a few situations:
If you are not sure whether PHP is the right level for you, call (818) 918-9564 and our team will help you find the right fit.
PHP at Fortify Wellness runs 5 days a week, 6 to 8 hours a day, built around a full daily schedule of individual therapy, group therapy, and family sessions. Your treatment plan is set with your clinical team and adjusts as you stabilize.
A typical day combines group therapy focused on coping skills and relapse prevention with individual counseling for what is specific to your recovery. Family sessions bring in the people closest to you when that supports your progress. Psychiatric services and medication management are available as part of your care, and case managers check in with you regularly to keep practical needs from getting in the way. Wellness practices such as yoga, breathwork, and nutrition support round out the clinical work.
Our PHP combines evidence-based talk therapy with whole-person support across a full treatment day. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is central, helping you identify the thoughts and triggers behind substance use and build practical tools to respond differently. You can read more about how we use cognitive behavioral therapy across our programs.
Group therapy carries much of the daily work, covering coping skills and relapse prevention, while individual therapy gives you private time with a counselor. Family sessions support the people around you, and case management connects you to practical resources so recovery has a stable base.
PHP and IOP differ mainly in how many hours a week you spend in treatment. PHP is the more intensive option for people who need near-daily structure; IOP is the step down that frees up more of your week while keeping consistent clinical support.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) | Intensive Outpatient (IOP) | |
|---|---|---|
Days per week | 5 | 3 to 5 |
Hours per day | 6 to 8 | 3 to 4 |
Best for | People needing near-daily structure and support | People balancing treatment with work, school, or family |
Living situation | At home | At home |
Typical position in care | Highest level of outpatient care | Step down from PHP |
Many people step down from PHP into IOP as they stabilize. If you are deciding between the two, our team can help based on your history and current needs. Learn more about our intensive outpatient program or read our detailed comparison of IOP and PHP.
PHP is the top of our outpatient continuum, so most people move to a lighter level of care as they stabilize. The typical path steps down from PHP to intensive outpatient, then to our outpatient program for ongoing maintenance. Your clinical team decides when you are ready to step down based on your progress, not a fixed calendar. If you need medical detox before starting PHP, we coordinate that step with trusted detox providers, since detox is handled through referral rather than in-house.
We accept most major insurance and verify your benefits before you commit to anything. Our admissions team confirms your coverage, explains what your plan covers, and walks you through next steps. Verification through our secure form usually takes about a day, and getting started begins with a confidential assessment to confirm PHP is the right level for you.
If you do not have insurance, our admissions team can discuss private pay and payment options. Call (818) 918-9564 or verify your insurance.
