For someone in Austin who needs more structure than a few weekly group sessions – but doesn’t require an overnight residential stay – a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is often the right level of care. PHP is the most intensive form of outpatient treatment Arise Recovery Centers offers: structured, clinically supervised day treatment for drug and alcohol addiction, delivered from our Austin centers so you can return home each evening. It’s a powerful option for stabilizing early in recovery, or stepping down from inpatient care, while staying connected to your life in Austin.
What partial hospitalization (PHP) involves
PHP sits at the top of the outpatient continuum. You attend treatment for several hours a day, multiple days per week, receiving a level of clinical attention close to inpatient care – without living at the facility. For many Austin clients, PHP is the starting point when addiction has become severe, or the bridge between a residential program and a lighter outpatient schedule.
How PHP compares to IOP and outpatient care
Arise offers a full continuum of care so your treatment can step down as you stabilize:
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) – the most structured day treatment, for those who need significant daily support.
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP) – focused group therapy several days a week, typically 6-10 weeks.
- Supportive Outpatient (SOP) – lighter continuing care that protects your recovery long-term.
Most people move through these levels as they progress, and we’ll determine the right starting point at your assessment.
PHP in Austin, close to home
Arise serves the Austin metro from two centers – North Austin at 8240 N. Mopac Expressway, Suite 130, and South Austin at 5920 W. William Cannon Drive. That means structured day treatment without a long commute, whether you’re north of the river, in the south or southwest suburbs, or out in the Hill Country. Because PHP is a daytime commitment, being close to where you live is often the difference between treatment that’s sustainable and treatment that isn’t.
