Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

When struggling with substance use or mental health challenges, some individuals need more structure than outpatient care but do not require 24-hour residential treatment. A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) bridges this gap by providing intensive, evidence-based treatment while allowing clients to return home or to supportive housing each day.

At Lifeline Recovery and Wellness in Malvern, Pennsylvania, our PHP gives clients the focused clinical support they need to stabilize, build skills, and prepare for long-term recovery.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A Partial Hospitalization Program is a structured day treatment program designed for individuals who need comprehensive care but do not need overnight supervision. PHP typically includes:

- - 5 days per week of structured treatment
  - Approximately 5 hours of therapy per day
  - Individual counseling and group therapy
  - Medication management, when appropriate
  - Psychoeducation and life skills training
  - Family support sessions

This level of care helps clients address the physical, emotional, and behavioral aspects of addiction or mental health conditions in a safe, supportive setting.

What to Expect in Our PHP

At Lifeline Recovery and Wellness, each PHP participant receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific needs and goals. Core elements of our program include:

Common components of PHP include:

Individual Therapy

Work one-on-one with a licensed therapist to address underlying issues and set recovery goals.

Group Therapy

Connect with peers in a supportive, therapist-led environment focused on skill-building, relapse prevention, and healthy coping strategies.

Family Involvement

Loved ones are encouraged to participate in education and support sessions to strengthen the family system.

Relapse Prevention and Life Skills Training

Clients learn practical strategies to identify triggers, manage cravings, build resilience, and practice daily living skills essential for long-term recovery.

Medication Management

For those who benefit from Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) or psychiatric support, our team monitors and adjusts medications as needed.

Holistic and Wellness Activities

To support mind-body balance, our program may include activities such as mindfulness exercises, stress reduction techniques, light fitness routines, and other holistic approaches that promote overall well-being.

Our goal is to equip each client with the tools, confidence, and support they need to maintain recovery and thrive long after completing our Partial Hospitalization Program.

- - Have completed detox or inpatient treatment and need step-down support
