At the DBT Institute of Michigan, we know that recovery looks different for everyone. That’s why our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers an effective, flexible path toward lasting sobriety—providing structured, daily treatment while allowing you to return home at night.
What Is Partial Hospitalization?
A PHP is an intensive form of outpatient addiction treatment. It gives you access to high-quality therapy and support without the need for an overnight stay. Many people choose PHP as a step-down after completing an inpatient program, while others begin their recovery journey here when 24-hour supervision isn’t necessary.
In our PHP, you’ll follow a consistent daily schedule that includes several hours of therapy, skill-building, and wellness activities. This structure helps you stay accountable and supported while maintaining connections to your everyday life.
What to Expect in a PHP
Our program uses evidence-based therapies to promote emotional resilience, mindfulness, and healthier coping strategies. You can expect a combination of:
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand and change thought patterns that contribute to addiction.
-
Individual, group, and family therapy sessions to build communication and healing across relationships.
-
Specialized programming, such as art or music therapy, to help you express yourself and rediscover joy in healthy ways.
Every treatment plan at the DBT Institute of Michigan is tailored to your unique history and goals, ensuring that the level of care meets your current needs.
PHP vs. Inpatient Treatment
Both inpatient treatment and partial hospitalization are effective paths to recovery—the right choice depends on your situation:
-
Inpatient Treatment involves 24/7 care in a treatment center, including housing, meals, and constant supervision. It’s the most intensive level of support, ideal for those beginning their recovery or needing medical stabilization.
-
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) offers a step down in structure while still providing intensive therapy each day. You’ll receive comprehensive care during the day and return home to your loved ones in the evening.
Because PHP combines flexibility with focused support, it’s a great option for individuals transitioning out of inpatient care or anyone seeking a strong therapeutic foundation without full hospitalization.
