FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a partial hospitalization program (PHP)?
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a structured, day-based level of care that offers intensive mental health or addiction treatment without an overnight hospital stay. PHP sits between inpatient mental health treatment and outpatient programs on the continuum of care. At Hillside Wellness Center, PHP includes daily individual and group therapy, psychiatric services, holistic supports and continuing-care planning. It works well for adults stepping down from residential care or stepping up when outpatient therapy is not enough.
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
The main difference between PHP and IOP (intensive outpatient program) is the number of treatment hours. PHP typically involves most of the day, several days a week, while IOP usually meets for a few hours a day on fewer days, leaving more time for work, school or family. PHP is recommended when symptoms still need close daily support; IOP fits people who are more stable. At Hillside, our clinical team recommends the right level after an assessment. Learn more about lower-intensity options on our outpatient programs page.
How many hours a day is a partial hospitalization program?
Partial hospitalization programs typically run for several hours a day, most days of the week, which is similar to the time commitment of a full-time job. That structure gives you intensive therapy and psychiatric support during the day while still allowing you to return home or to a supportive living setting at night. Exact schedules vary by program and clinical need, so call our admissions team for Hillside's current PHP schedule and to find out whether this level of care is right for you.
Can I work while in a partial hospitalization program?
Most people are not able to keep a regular full-time job during PHP because treatment takes up a large part of the day. Many clients take short-term leave, and laws like the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) may protect eligible employees' jobs during treatment. If you need more flexibility to work or attend school, our outpatient programs may be a better fit once your symptoms are stable. Our admissions team can help you weigh your options and plan around work obligations.
Does insurance cover partial hospitalization?
Most commercial insurance plans cover partial hospitalization when it is medically necessary for mental health or substance use treatment. Hillside Wellness Center works with carriers such as Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Highmark, Independence Blue Cross, Magellan, Optum and UnitedHealthcare. Our team offers free, confidential benefits verification, usually within one business day, so you know exactly what you will pay before starting.
