Partial Hospitalization

This content was written by: Justin Baksh, LMHC, MCAP, Chief Clinical Officer

While in alcohol or drug addiction treatment, we provide an environment with the utmost care.

At Foundations Wellness Center, we guide clients to ﬁnd out where their strengths lie and what they need to best recover from chemical dependence. We offer holistic alcohol and drug addiction treatment that is focused on the individual, so that clients can rebuild a foundation for a better life beyond addiction. Partial hospitalization is the ideal first step for those who have a chronic or recurring drug or alcohol dependence and have completed detox.

What is Partial Hospitalization?

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the most intensive level of psychiatric and medical care we offer to help clients recover from substance abuse.

While undergoing PHP, clients receive treatment aimed at helping them recover from chemical dependency and uncover and treat other factors contributing to addiction at our safe and monitored facility. During the evenings and nights, clients can spend their time at a sober living home or in their own homes, taking a break from the intensive treatment and allowing for time to process what they are learning about themselves.

After detoxing, partial hospitalization is the recommended ﬁrst step toward sobriety for those who are suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, as it offers the highest chance of successful recovery.

At Foundations Wellness Center, we guide clients to ﬁnd out where their strengths lie and what they need to work on in order to best recover from chemical dependence.

A medical professional thoroughly evaluates clients upon admission to determine if PHP is the right level of care for them.

How the Partial Hospitalization Program Works

Clients participate in a structured program consisting of over 40 hours of clinical treatment each week. We take into account each patient’s needs to provide them with individualized treatment plans.

Clients ﬁrst meet with a PHP treatment coordinator who orients patients to the program. The plan continues with a psychosocial assessment that is used to create the treatment plan and set goals with the client. While in treatment, clients attend individual therapy and counseling sessions with a medical and clinical professionals. In addition, clients will interact with others in group therapy sessions, including specialty and peer groups.

The treatment is not only focused on helping clients overcome their addiction. Our staff use therapeutic techniques to address past behaviors while promoting positive actions and associations. Clients and their families will also be provided with all available resources to rebuild foundations for a healthy lifestyle in recovery. We also offer mental health psychiatric evaluations and effective psychopharmacological strategies to combat mental health issues like depression and anxiety. As part of the program, our staff also provide life-skills counseling, recovery education, a history and physical examination, as well as an extensive relapse prevention plan for clients who are nearing the end of their stay.

Our team supervises and monitors clients throughout the process to ensure that they are on the right track to recovery. Clients are expected to report and communicate with all members of their clinical team continually during their stay with us.

When is Partial Hospitalization Necessary?

Partial hospitalization is ideal for those who have a chronic or recurring drug or alcohol dependence. Struggling with substance abuse can be one of the toughest challenges to overcome and requires intensive and monitored treatment.

Individuals who experience withdrawal symptoms when trying to stop using a substance, whether it’s drugs or alcohol, have likely developed a dependence. What most individuals may not be aware of is that post-acute withdrawal syndrome, or PAWS, can last two to four weeks after medical detox. This can make for an extremely uncomfortable situation if they are not given medical care. The environment they are surrounded by or live in can also exacerbate the substance abuse problem. At Foundation Wellness Center, our clients receive full support as well as professional medical attention to help alleviate these symptoms with medication.

A PHP program is probably the best option for those who are not sure what to do or how to continue their road to recovery. We pick up where medical detox leaves off, assisting with the transition for clients still experiencing PAWS, and providing hope for a better life in the real world.
