Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Teens
Who Can Benefit from Teen PHP?
- If they are struggling with depression, anxiety, or mood swings
- Academic decline or absence from school due to emotional distress
- Behavioral problems such as irritability, disobediance and self-harm thoughts
- Substance misuse to handle distress and for quick relief from tensions
- Difficulty coping with trauma or family conflict
- Transitioning from inpatient care but still needing strong support
PHP for teens provides a path forward not only for teens but also for their families. It helps them build helpful resources to get through this tough time together and support each other. Family therapy helps them to be more understanding of this situation and be there for their loved ones.
Partial Hospitalization Program for Teens, also termed Day Treatment, provides structured outpatient care for teens struggling with the challenges of addiction and mental health problems. Such programs run for 5 days per week for 3-4 weeks. Clinicians provide various therapeutic treatments, including group clinical programming and individual/family therapy.
This is really important in treatment programs designed for teens due to their academic and social activities. They get the freedom to live at home with their families while receiving intensive treatment simultaneously. Residential treatments are too intense for teens, and outpatient care doesn’t offer the structured treatment needed. PHP solves these problems by offering intensive treatment with structure while allowing patients to go home daily.
Any teen suffering from addiction problems or mental health issues can benefit from PHP for teens. Evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT and ACT are used in these treatment programs to teach teens how to confront challenges. Here are some symptoms indicating that a teen might need PHP:

Levels of Support and Step-Down Care
Freedom Recovery Center offers various levels of support and step-down care. As PHP ends, individuals need to step down to the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or just normal outpatient sessions. The continuity of treatment is crucial for sustaining recovery. PHP is only the middle ground between inpatient hospitalization and outpatient therapy.
We stay with families every step of the recovery journey to ensure strong support for treatment. With our different levels of care, you get smooth transitions and long-term follow-up. This reduces the chances of any potential relapse due to lack of support. We offer:
- Teen Residential Treatment
- Teen Day Treatment
- Teen After-School Intensive Outpatient
- VIrtual IOP
These conditions make each other worse, and if you don’t treat both, you’re vulnerable to relapse. Our PHP for Dual Diagnosis takes care of both parts at the same time with an integrated approach.
