A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is one of the most intensive levels of outpatient treatment available. It provides structured morning programming Monday through Saturday, 6 days per week, offering a level of care between residential treatment and Intensive Outpatient (IOP). Patients attend treatment during the day and return home or to recovery housing each evening.
At Vital Health in Maumee, Ohio, PHP is designed for individuals who need substantial daily structure to support recovery but are medically stable enough to live outside a hospital setting. A person answers calls 8:30 AM–6:30 PM. After hours, our AI intake assistant answers and routes urgent needs.
PHP is often the appropriate level of care for someone who has recently completed detoxification, is stepping down from residential treatment, or whose condition requires more intensive support than IOP can provide. Treatment is individualized based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria and each patient's clinical needs.

Our PHP treats substance use, including people who also have mental health needs. If mental health is your main concern and you aren't using substances, our mental health day treatment program is the better fit. We'll help you decide at your assessment.
PHP may be clinically appropriate based on the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria when an individual's condition requires more intensive support than IOP can provide. Your treatment team determines the appropriate level of care through a comprehensive clinical assessment.
You need substantial daily structure to stop using substances or stabilize mental health symptoms
You have recently completed detoxification or residential treatment and need step-down support
You have repeatedly returned to use in less intensive treatment settings
You have significant co-occurring mental health and substance use needs requiring daily clinical attention
You are medically stable enough to live outside a hospital
You can remain safe when treatment is not in session (evenings and nights)
Your living environment is stable enough to support recovery between sessions
Our PHP integrates multiple evidence-based treatment modalities into a comprehensive daily program. A typical day may include:
One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians addressing trauma, co-occurring conditions, and personal recovery goals.
Multiple daily groups including process groups, psychoeducation, and evidence-based skill building.
Medication evaluation and management by our psychiatric team.
Structured approach to identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that maintain addiction.
Distress tolerance, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness skills.
Evidence-based trauma processing for individuals with co-occurring PTSD or trauma histories.
Vivitrol injection and Sublocade injection may be available when clinically appropriate after a medical evaluation.
Coordination of housing, employment, insurance, and step-down services for a smooth transition.
Our five levels of care are ambulatory detox, PHP, IOP, day treatment and outpatient. The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) defines levels of care based on clinical severity and individual needs. Here is how PHP compares with IOP and residential treatment; Vital Health does not offer residential care.
| Level of Care | Structure | Setting | May Be Appropriate For |
|---|---|---|---|
| IOP | 9–12 clinical hours/week, 5-day or 3-day track | Live at home | Moderate severity, working adults, step-down from PHP |
| PHP (You are here) | Structured morning programming, Monday through Saturday (6 days) | Live at home or recovery housing | Higher acuity, post-detox, daily structure needed |
| Residential | Overnight supervision | Live at facility | Highest acuity, unsafe environment, medical instability |
Level of care is determined by your clinical team based on ASAM criteria. Many individuals progress through multiple levels as they stabilize and build recovery skills.

PHP provides structured morning programming Monday through Saturday, 6 days per week. IOP offers a 5-day track and a 3-day track, with 9–12 clinical hours per week. PHP is appropriate when someone needs daily clinical structure and monitoring. IOP is appropriate when someone has enough stability to function between sessions while still needing substantial support. Many individuals step down from PHP to IOP as they progress.

PHP duration depends on individual clinical needs and progress. Many individuals participate in PHP for 2-4 weeks before stepping down to IOP. Some may benefit from longer engagement. Your treatment team reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan based on clinical indicators and ASAM criteria.
Yes. PHP is an outpatient level of care, meaning you do not live at the treatment facility. You attend programming during the day and return home each evening. Some individuals choose to live in recovery housing during PHP for additional structure and accountability — Vital Health offers ORH-certified recovery housing that coordinates with our clinical programs.
After PHP, most individuals step down to Intensive Outpatient (IOP), which provides continued clinical support with fewer weekly hours. Your treatment team coordinates every transition. Some individuals may also benefit from recovery housing, medication-assisted treatment, peer support, or other services as part of their ongoing recovery plan.
