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. In all phases of the aftercare and outpatient program, guests are welcome to reside at Royal Life Housing, our sober living community.

During PHP, guests are required to stay in our sober living, and rental fees are included in guests’ treatment plans, and our supportive, in-house sober living staff is available 24/7. Following PHP, guests move into intensive outpatient and our sober living housing is optional.

Each of our sober living homes features luxurious living rooms, spacious bedrooms, walk-in closets, and plasma TVs with cable. We also provide transportation to 12-step meetings 4 times each day, seven days a week.
