Partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the first of three four-week phases of our aftercare treatment program following detox and residential inpatient treatment. During partial hospitalization, guests participate in group therapy sessions Monday through Friday, six hours per day, and Saturday for three hours. PHP precedes intensive outpatient program (IOP), outpatient (OP), and sober living.

PHP is the less structured, more flexible treatment option designed for guests who have completed detox and no longer require the 24/7 medical monitoring provided in our residential inpatient program. Partial hospitalization also prepares guests for our intensive outpatient program (IOP), the next level of care, and is the first step back into society. PHP is the first phase of our twelve-week program. The reason our 12-week program is split into three phases is that it is designed to smoothly transition guests through the levels of care. While guests in our aftercare program start in partial hospitalization, they finish our 12-week program at an outpatient level of care.

Designed to benefit individuals who have cultivated a support network and are capable of moderate self-sustainability and relapse prevention, PHP prepares guests by teaching them beneficial coping skills, emotional regulation, in addition to educational and employment assistance. These skills and resources are incredibly valuable to early recovery as guests learn to maintain their new healthy, sober lives.

A Holistic Approach

Holistic treatment in PHP, like treatment at all levels of RLC care, is evidence-based and includes group, activity/movement, individual, adventure, and equine therapies, as well as psychiatry with medication management.

Our holistic, integrative, and spiritual approach to treatment incorporates individual and group therapy, biopsychosocial evaluations, psychotherapy, recreational opportunities, relapse prevention, education on gender-specific issues, trauma resolution, grief and loss, anger management, depression, and 12-step meetings to provide guests the resources needed to lead lives free of substance dependence. We focus on healing the mind, body, and spirit.

Through our therapeutic sessions and activities, we restore mind, body, and spirit; this threefold technique defines Royal Life centers holistic treatment programs. Our collaborative, comprehensive treatment plans are custom-tailored to each guest. Throughout treatment, guests work closely with their therapist and case manager to ensure that their needs are met and that they are on track to reach their goals and have the resources needed to do so.

You Come First

At Royal Life Centers, our guests always come first. For this reason, we offer the best resources and treatment programs. Naturally, this quality extends to our sober living arrangements provided for guests. For this reason, guests who have completed detox and residential inpatient are invited to join our aftercare program. As such, we seamlessly transition guests who wish to continue their stay with Royal Life Centers from our inpatient level of care into the first stage of our 12-week program, PHP.

Living Arrangements in Our Partial Hospitalization Program

After completing our inpatient programs, guests who would like to continue with us in our aftercare program most commonly will choose to live in our Sober Housing on property. Our Sober housing is only available to current guests who have completed our inpatient treatment programs. We model the responsibility of paying bills and budgeting with low weekly rent for a nice apartment or home that is fully furnished with cable/internet and is accompanied by the safety and security of a sober living staff nearby. Paying rent for sober housing begins after we help you find employment— in phase 2 of the 12-week program. Rent is a weekly cost of $50 (weeks 4-8) and rises to $75 (weeks 9-12).
