While residential options are available for the most severe cases, not every individual will need this type of care. An outpatient program can be precisely what some people need, but not work for others. For individuals who don’t entirely fit into either program, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) could be exactly what they need. PHPs can provide specific advantages tailored to the person’s mental health journey, offering support and strategies to enhance overall functionality and well-being.
If you are looking for a partial hospitalization program in Illinois or the surrounding areas, Northern Illinois Recovery Center can help. Our treatment center is about 45 miles from Chicago, making it an ideal area for both residential treatment and outpatient treatment programs.
The main goals of partial hospital programs typically include:
- De-escalating any immediate issues
- Providing patients with a stable, recovery-based environment where they have support and feel encouraged to change their behaviors
- Providing feedback that empowers patients to overcome their mental illnesses
- Making sure that patients are at the right level of care and that they are actively engaging in treatment
- Encouraging patients to have a continued recovery plan for the future after they have completed treatment
PHP counseling and treatment are similar to inpatient care, but patients are allowed to live away from the facility. This flexible form of treatment is appropriate for individuals who have a safe, stable environment to recover in. A partial hospitalization program may even help patients avoid inpatient care, which tends to be more expensive.
One of the benefits of PHPs is that they offer a more intensive level of care than traditional outpatient therapy, but are less restrictive than inpatient care. This makes them an ideal option for individuals who need more support than outpatient therapy can provide, but do not require the level of care provided by an inpatient hospitalization program.
In terms of cost, PHPs are generally less expensive than inpatient care. But they may be more expensive than traditional outpatient therapy. However, the cost of a PHP can vary depending on the specific program and the individual’s insurance coverage.
Who Benefits From a Partial Hospitalization Program?
While a partial hospitalization program is an option available at our addiction recovery center, we wouldn’t recommend it to all of our patients. These questions can help you determine whether or not PHPs are right for you.
- Have you already completed a more intensive form of addiction treatment before PHP counseling and treatment? You may need inpatient care first.
- Is this your first time in a drug rehab treatment program? If you have relapsed before, it may be better to attend an inpatient program before trying a PHP.
- Do you have a severe mental health disorder and addiction? This is another sign that you may need more intensive services.
A partial hospitalization program is designed for people who don’t need supervision around the clock. It also applies to patients who have already completed inpatient care.
PHPs can also be beneficial for individuals who need ongoing mental health care to support their recovery. For example, if someone experiences suicidal thoughts in recovery, they may wish to stay connected to more intensive services to function effectively in the initial period after treatment.
The Benefits of PHP in Illinois
Outpatient options can be ideal for many clients. But on occasion, they may require higher levels of support and supervision during their treatment. Residential programs (or other inpatient options) require significant 24/7 commitments and fully stepping away from life to focus on addiction and/or mental health care. A PHP can merge the benefits from inpatient and outpatient programs while avoiding downsides.
For example, Northern Illinois Recovery Center’s PHP can provide the options patients need, including:
- Family therapy
- Individual therapy
- Experiential therapies
- Medication management
The goal of Northern Illinois Recovery Center’s PHP is to satisfy our clients’ needs. Our location allows us to serve a large area of Chicago and the people living in surrounding counties that may otherwise need to travel far for treatment. Of course, the program itself works to accommodate clients with specific needs that other programs cannot or do not meet.
What to Expect from PHP Counseling and Treatment?
In cases of non-suicidal self-injury, immediate support and intervention are crucial. Our program is designed to address these urgent needs. Within our partial hospitalization program, individuals can take advantage of several therapeutic approaches, like group therapy and holistic therapy, to support their overall well-being.
