Partial Hospitalization Program in Austin, TX

Structured daytime addiction treatment in Austin for adults who need intensive support while returning home or to approved supportive housing each evening.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a high-support level of addiction treatment provided during the day without an overnight stay. At South Meadows Recovery in Austin, PHP is designed for adults who need more structure than traditional outpatient care while remaining in their home or approved supportive living environment between program days.

Our PHP schedule runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Treatment may include group therapy, individual counseling, education, life-skills practice, relapse-prevention planning, and evidence-based approaches for substance use and co-occurring mental-health concerns.

PHP is one level of care within a coordinated treatment plan. Our admissions team can help determine whether PHP, IOP, or another recommendation is appropriate for your current needs and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions About Partial Hospitalization Programs in Austin

PHP provides structured daytime treatment without an overnight stay. Services may include group therapy, individual counseling, education, life-skills practice, relapse-prevention planning, and clinical support for substance use and co-occurring concerns.

PHP provides intensive treatment during the day while clients return home or to approved supportive housing. Inpatient or residential treatment includes 24-hour care and housing. The appropriate level depends on safety, support, substance use, and clinical needs.

PHP may fit adults who need more structure than traditional outpatient treatment but do not require 24-hour residential care, as determined through an assessment. It may also be recommended as a step down from a higher level of care.

Length varies according to individual needs, progress, clinical recommendations, and insurance authorization. The admissions and treatment teams will explain the expected plan and review it as care progresses.

PHP requires a significant daytime commitment from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Some clients may maintain approved work, school, family, or recovery responsibilities outside treatment hours, depending on their needs and schedule.

PHP may address co-occurring mental-health symptoms alongside substance use when clinically appropriate. Your assessment and treatment plan will identify the services and supports that fit your situation.

Does Insurance Cover PHP in Austin?

Many health insurance plans may cover partial hospitalization when treatment is medically necessary, but benefits, deductibles, authorization requirements, and out-of-pocket costs vary. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain estimated costs before treatment begins.
