Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Getting sober is an important step in breaking free from the cycle of substance abuse. But to achieve long-term abstinence from drugs and alcohol, individuals struggling with chemical dependencies need more than detox alone. Often they need admission into a highly structured, Partial Hospitalization Program commonly referred to as PHP for treatment to help them break the self-destructive cycle of substance abuse and develop their identity as a sober individual.

Our drug and alcohol rehab centers in St. Augustine and Jacksonville offer a Day Treatment / Partial Hospitalization Program that’s comprehensive and individualized. The program includes individual substance abuse treatment from a board-certified addiction medicine doctor and an array of group and holistic therapies to heal the mind, body and soul.

Our Day Treatment / Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) meets five days a week for a total of 20 to 25 hours. Our treatment centers accept most private insurance plans for our outpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs. Financing options are also available to qualified applicants undergoing rehabilitation.

Are Partial Hospitalization Programs Successful for Rehabilitation from Drugs, Alcohol & Pain Medication?

We have found that many people, even those with moderate to severe addiction, can successfully recover in intensive treatment without needing overnight stays. This allows patients to continue to live at home or in the home of a supportive family member. Living at home, where patients are the most comfortable and can continue to be a part of family life, is less disruptive than seeking treatment in a residential facility. Many patients appreciate having the freedom to come to treatment and go home at the end of the day.

But it should be stressed that Recovery Keys’ Day Treatment / Partial Hospitalization Program is an intense behavioral treatment program, designed to lay the groundwork for healing and significant changes in attitudes, reactions to frustration or challenges, and ways of interacting in the world.

Breaking the cycle of addiction takes work and commitment. Recovery Keys’ Day Treatment / Partial Hospitalization Program meets:

• Weekdays Monday through Friday, for approximately 20 to 25 hours (for patients who meet criteria to enter treatment with Recovery Keys). Depending on the severity of illness, this phase of treatment may be anywhere from 6 weeks to 10 weeks.
• Total of 20 to 25 hours of therapy and other programming.

How Do Individual, Group and Holistic Therapies Heal the Mind, Body and Soul?

The Partial Hospitalization Program at Recovery Keys offers an array of substance abuse treatment programs, including individual counseling, 12-step therapy and group therapy.

Medical Director Jeremy Mirabile, MD, ABAN, FASAM, FAAFP, is an expert in substance use disorder evaluations, addiction medicine and medication assisted treatment. While medication assisted treatment is an option, Dr. Mirabile also believes in a holistic approach that allows many patients to achieve abstinence and long-term sobriety with the limited use of medication.

• In individual therapy, patients work through core issues, become educated about managing dual diagnoses, undergo neurocognitive retraining to learn new coping skills, and have a safe, confidential space to express their emotions, share their challenges and start making plans for the future.
• Multiple group therapy opportunities, including 12-step therapy, psychoeducational therapy, sober skills development and groups that focus on learning to live – and to enjoy life – as a sober person who is part of a community of sober peers.
• Holistic therapies such as mindfulness, meditation, biofeedback, self-hypnosis, nutrition and exercise programs to relieve stress and anxiety, restore a healthful balance, and give patients healthy alternatives to past harmful behavior.
