Men's Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Central FL

When you or someone you love is suffering from substance abuse, it can be hard to find your way forward to recovery. Not only does it often take a long time to admit you need help, but it can be challenging to find. People with an addiction often have families to support or debts to pay, so full residential treatment is impractical. If this dilemma sounds familiar, then the improved access a partial hospitalization program offers may be what you need.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A partial hospitalization program is a form of day treatment where a patient doesn’t necessarily live on-premises. What separates it from other outpatient programs is that it’s considerably more intensive, with highly structured care. Patients receive addiction care several hours a day, five to seven days a week.

If someone truly needs intensive, hands-on care but residential care is impractical, PHP is the balanced choice.

Addiction Treatment Options vs. Partial Hospitalization Program

PHP stands out as a method for treating substance abuse by combining the advantages of an outpatient program and an inpatient program. Compared to conventional outpatient care, it’s much more structured and supportive. However, PHP is also a more flexible, more affordable alternative to inpatient care.

Partial Hospitalization Program vs. Residential Treatment

A residential treatment program can be quite restrictive, to the point that it’s simply not an option for some people. Furthermore, staying at residential programs around the clock results in a higher bill for patients. While residential substance abuse treatment has its own advantages, PHP has the advantage in terms of flexibility.

Partial Hospitalization Program vs. Outpatient Treatment

An outpatient treatment program is even more flexible than a PHP program. However, it’s often not the right treatment option for someone just beginning their recovery. It offers less support than PHP and also leaves the patient with a great deal of unoccupied time. While this is good later in recovery, it can be a mistake during the shaky first months of addiction treatment. Outpatient programs for addiction make the most sense as a follow-up for PHP or inpatient addiction treatment.

Central Florida PHP Treatment From Serenity Springs

At Serenity Springs Recovery Center, we’ve helped many PHP patients get out of the trap of addiction and start rebuilding their lives. Drugs can throw someone’s life into chaos, and bringing back a sense of order plays an important role in recovery. We emphasize consistent treatment that aims to improve mental health while helping build coping skills, healthy routines and overall quality of life. A better life is the strongest defense against relapse.

Flexible Treatment Plan

While PHP is a relatively intensive treatment program, we take steps to make it relatively flexible. You can choose to attend sessions five to seven days a week, with or without housing. While care days involve six hours of treatment, we can work with you to schedule your days and hours around commitments like work. Likewise, we make room for limited exceptions when extenuating circumstances are at play.

Dedicated Social Workers

When a patient checks into Serenity Springs, they can count on a dedicated therapist and recovery advocate. The therapist will track their progress and try different treatment methods. In doing so, they’ll help the patient build coping skills, identify the underlying cause of their drug problem and improve overall mental health. The recovery advocate helps integrate patients into support groups in the local recovery community, which assists in building diverse, supportive social connections.

PHP Treatment Modalities

While undergoing care in our PHP program, you’ll be able to count on a variety of treatment modalities. We use individual therapy and group sessions with numerous frameworks and approaches, providing the room to see which methods work best for each patient. Our facility takes a holistic approach that emphasizes the combined roles of mental health, social bonds and medical treatment. With this comprehensive approach to addiction care, we aim to treat the whole person.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a type of therapy that builds on the foundation of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Rather than seeking to change behaviors or feelings, DBT focuses on mindfulness and self-soothing. It’s proven remarkably useful in treating addiction thanks to its emphasis on building skills for emotional regulation and coping with discomfort. The skills people learn in DBT often play a critical role in avoiding relapse during stressful moments.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFT)

Solution-focused therapy aims to uplift individuals and inspire them with carefully constructed, directed questions. The practitioner highlights a patient’s goals and dreams, bringing their current progress into context and emphasizing the value of their current steps toward recovery.

Family Therapy

Family-oriented therapy is a type of group therapy that focuses on an individual and their family members. The goals are unique to each situation, depending on the way addiction has troubled the patient and those close to them. At its core, however, family group therapy aims to facilitate healing by helping all involved move forward with accountability and forgiveness.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Modern model representations of addiction emphasize it as a mental health problem, and there are layers to howd true this is. While problematic substance abuse is a mental health issue unto itself, it often afflicts those with preexisting conditions.

Individuals with mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder or depression are highly overrepresented among the population who suffer from drug use. With depression on the rise in recent years, it’s vital to recognize the ways preexisting mental illnesses put people at risk. Both recent and childhood trauma represent major risk factors for drug abuse as well.

Dual diagnosis treatment recognizes these roots of addiction and seeks to treat both problems together. By identifying the underlying cause of a person’s addiction, we believe we can set the stage for lifelong recovery.
