Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Delray Beach

Our Partial Hospitalization Program provides structured, full-day clinical treatment for individuals who need intensive support without 24-hour residential care. Attend 5–6 hours per day, most days of the week, in a safe and supportive environment in beautiful Delray Beach, Florida.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of outpatient care available, designed for individuals who require intensive, structured treatment but do not need round-the-clock residential supervision. IOP Delray Beach connects you with top-rated PHP programs offering 5 to 6 hours of clinical programming most days of the week, creating a comprehensive treatment experience that bridges the gap between inpatient hospitalization and standard outpatient therapy.

The PHP programs we work with are built around an integrated, multidisciplinary model that includes individual counseling, group therapy sessions, family therapy, and ongoing medical supervision. Licensed clinicians and board-certified psychiatrists work together to address the root causes of addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, giving you the tools you need to build a lasting foundation for recovery.

Who Is the PHP Program For?

The Partial Hospitalization Programs we connect you with are ideal for individuals who need more intensive care than traditional outpatient therapy can provide. PHP is especially effective for people who are stepping down from inpatient or residential treatment or whose clinical needs require a higher level of structure and support.

You may be a candidate for PHP if you are experiencing any of the following:

Moderately severe substance use disorders requiring daily clinical intervention and structured programming
History of relapse after previous treatment attempts, indicating a need for more intensive support
Co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder alongside addiction
Insufficient stability for outpatient-only treatment — your home environment or personal circumstances need additional clinical oversight
Need for more structure than IOP or standard outpatient provides, without requiring 24-hour residential care

PHP Treatment Components

Our Partial Hospitalization Program integrates multiple evidence-based treatment modalities to provide comprehensive, whole-person care for addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Individual Counseling

One-on-one therapy sessions with a licensed clinician help you explore the underlying beliefs, traumas, and behavioral patterns that fuel addiction. Together, you and your therapist develop personalized strategies for long-term sobriety.

Group Therapy

Facilitated group sessions provide a safe space to share experiences, build communication skills, and develop a support network with peers who understand the challenges of recovery firsthand.

Addiction affects the entire family. Our family therapy sessions educate loved ones about addiction as a disease, resolve unhealthy dynamics, rebuild trust, and create a supportive home environment for sustained recovery.

Medical Supervision

Our board-certified psychiatrist and medical team provide ongoing health monitoring, medication management, and psychiatric evaluations to ensure your physical and mental health needs are met throughout treatment.

PHP Program FAQs

Get answers to the most common questions about Partial Hospitalization Programs in Delray Beach.

The duration of PHP programs is individualized based on each person's clinical needs, but most participants attend for approximately 2 to 4 weeks. Your treatment team conducts ongoing assessments to determine when you are clinically ready to step down to a less intensive level of care, such as an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The goal is always to provide the right amount of support for lasting recovery.
A typical PHP day runs from morning to early afternoon, totaling 5 to 6 hours. Your schedule may include an individual therapy session, two or more group therapy sessions, a psychoeducation workshop, and time for holistic activities such as yoga or mindfulness meditation. Some days include family therapy sessions or visits to our eight-acre ranch for equine-assisted therapy and outdoor activities.

Absolutely. The continuum of care model we help you navigate is designed for seamless transitions between levels of treatment.
