Pathway to Healing: Partial Hospitalization Program
What Is PHP?
Transitioning from residential treatment to a less intensive level of care is a critical step in the recovery journey. The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), also known as High Intensity Outpatient (HIOP), provides a structured yet flexible framework for this transition. Located in Laconia, NH, our PHP offers comprehensive support for individuals in the early stages of recovery, emphasizing the importance of focusing on oneself and building a solid foundation for long-term wellness.
PHP serves as a step-down from the more intensive residential treatment, offering a balanced approach that allows participants to continue their recovery while starting to reintegrate into their daily lives. The program runs for 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, providing a supportive and structured environment that fosters healing and growth.
- Step-Down Care: PHP offers a seamless transition from residential treatment to outpatient care, ensuring continuity in your recovery journey.
- Recovery Residences Availability: For those requiring a supportive living environment, recovery residences are available to complement the PHP experience, providing a stable and sober living situation.
- Focus on Self: Emphasizes personal growth and self-care in the early stages of recovery, allowing individuals to dedicate time to healing and understanding their path to sobriety.
- Structured Support: With 5 hours of therapy and support per day, 5 days a week, participants have a structured routine that supports their recovery while offering the flexibility to engage in daily life.
- Higher Intensity: Known alternatively as HIOP, this highlights the program's focus on providing high-intensity support in an outpatient setting.
Our PHP in Laconia, NH, is designed to meet the needs of those in early recovery, offering a comprehensive approach that includes therapy, peer support, and medical supervision. This program is ideal for individuals looking to maintain their momentum in recovery while beginning the process of rebuilding their lives outside of a residential setting.
5x5 Self Care
The structure of spending five hours per day, five days a week in our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is designed to strike the perfect balance between intensive care and the autonomy necessary for real-world application of recovery skills. This commitment is crucial in the early stages of recovery, where the foundation for a long-term, sustainable journey towards wellness is built. Here’s why this focused approach is vital:
The daily routine of engaging in therapy and recovery activities for five hours provides a consistent, supportive framework that mirrors the structure of a full-time commitment. This regularity is essential for individuals transitioning from more intensive residential care or those who require a higher level of support than traditional outpatient services offer. It allows for deep, focused work on personal growth, coping mechanisms, and healing without the full-time commitment of residential care, giving individuals the opportunity to begin reintegrating into their daily lives with a supportive safety net.
- Consistent Engagement: Daily involvement in therapeutic activities reinforces recovery concepts and practices, facilitating deeper understanding and integration into one’s life.
- Balance and Flexibility: This structure provides a balance between intensive therapeutic support and personal time, crucial for applying learned strategies in real-world settings.
- Focus on Self: Dedicated time for recovery allows individuals to focus on self-care, self-discovery, and personal development, which are pivotal in the early stages of recovery.
- Building Routine: Establishing a routine is a critical step in recovery, helping individuals create a sense of normalcy and stability in their lives.
- Peer Support: Regular interaction with peers facing similar challenges fosters a supportive community, offering opportunities for shared growth and learning.
In the early stages of recovery, focusing on oneself is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It’s a time for individuals to reconnect with their values, understand the impact of their substance use or mental health condition, and start building a life that aligns with their recovery goals. Our PHP program is designed to support this journey, offering a structured yet flexible environment that nurtures healing and personal growth.
Integrating Body and Mind
The integration of physical health with mental and emotional well-being is paramount. Recognizing this, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) ensures that participants receive comprehensive care that addresses not just the mind but the body as well. Each participant in our PHP will meet with a nurse at least once a week, underscoring our commitment to holistic healing. This crucial support is fundamental in facilitating healing, medication stabilization, and ensuring the physical health of our participants aligns with their recovery goals.
- Regular Nursing Assessments: Weekly meetings with a nurse provide ongoing assessment of physical health, ensuring any medical concerns are promptly addressed.

Integrating nursing care into our PHP model emphasizes the importance of treating the individual as a whole. Recognizing that healing is multifaceted, our program aims to support both the physical and emotional needs of our participants. By aligning the care of the body with the mind, we create a more robust foundation for recovery, empowering our participants to achieve wellness in every aspect of their lives.
