Residential treatment is a proven method that offers intensive recovery for those battling addiction, but not everyone is a candidate for the traditional 90-day program. As a step-down from residential programs, centers like La Paloma have found success through programs that allow for flexibility while still offering intensive therapy.
La Paloma’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides ongoing therapeutic intensity along with structure for continued recovery that offers an option to someone able to manage day-to-day activities without hindrance. That doesn’t mean you won’t spend a good part of each day on-site. PHP participants meet five hours a day up to five days a week, with a level of involvement that varies for each client, as determined by the individual therapist in cooperation with the patient.
And the main benefit of this kind of treatment? The PHP allows an individual to receive intensive treatment during the day and practice recovery skills while living at home.
While it’s not the typical residential treatment scenario, much of the offerings are the same, including:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Educational groups
- Family therapy (including Intensive Family Weekend)
- Medication management
- Relapse prevention and life skills groups
- 12-Step recovery
- Specialty treatment for psychological trauma and other issues as needed
