Substance abuse and addiction are complicated and strenuous diseases that affect people from all walks of life. In order to break the bonds of addiction, professional treatment is almost always required. Overcoming a substance use disorder takes time, commitment and professional support from the early days of addiction intervention and detox, through to the later stages of rehab and aftercare support. Rehabilitation programs are the foundation of addiction recovery, and include detoxification, residential rehab, partial hospitalization, outpatient services and sober living environments. At Restore Drug Treatment LA, we provide medication treatment and psychotherapeutic support services to people in need. A valuable level of care available at Restore Drug Rehab, is our partial hospitalization program, which is based on a combination of cognitive, behavioral and motivational principles. If you need to access a partial hospitalization program, or any form of recovery support, it is important that you reach out to the professionals at Restore Treatment Treatment Center by calling (888) 979-4570 as soon as possible.

What is Partial Hospitalization?

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation services come in many forms, and each level of treatment can be used as a continuum of care. The partial hospitalization program (PHP) at Restore Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center is typically the third phase of treatment, being that the client started out in medication assisted detoxification . Clients may be admitted to this phase after successful detoxification and stabilization in the residential level of care, are no longer in medical danger, and can actively and cognitively participate in the healing process. PHP is a level of care that provides close clinical treatment and supervision, without the need for continuous hospitalization. The primary goal of this phase is to refine the treatment plan to suit the needs of each individual client. The duration of the partial hospitalization program is typically three to five weeks, although it may be combined with the next phase of treatment, intensive outpatient.

Who is A Good Candidate for Partial Hospitalization Programs?

Partial hospitalization is a more detailed form of outpatient care that involves treatment sessions for at least five days each week, with evening and weekend sessions also available. While residential rehabilitation provides the most comprehensive form of treatment, not every person is able to commit to a live-in program. At Restore Drug Treatment LA, our partial hospitalization program provides a more flexible and affordable alternative for people seeking recovery. PHP is designed for two main groups of people: those who are transitioning down from a residential addiction treatment program, and those who are using it as an alternative to residential treatment. This form of treatment serves as a progressive step towards independent living, and also allows people to carry out their work responsibilities and family commitments while in therapy.

What are The Goals of Partial Hospitalization?

One of the main goals of partial hospitalization is to address internal problems, in order to change unwanted external behavior patterns. By learning to recognize cognitive and emotional distortions as they arise, recovering addicts will begin to gradually establish new psychological associations and change negative behavior patterns. There are several ways to go about doing this, such as applying cognitive behavioral therapy or motivational principles into treatment. The concept of relapse prevention also plays an integral role in this process, with long-term lifestyle changes requiring ongoing commitment and support. During relapse prevention programs, therapists will help clients to recognize potential triggers, avoid high risk situations, and develop new coping skills.
