Understanding Your Treatment Options: Partial Hospitalization Treatment
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) for drug and alcohol addiction in Virginia is an outpatient treatment program that provides a more structured and rigorous treatment regimen than a typical outpatient program. Patients enrolled in a PHP are required to follow a strict schedule, which includes several hours of therapy and skill-building treatment services every day. The program requires a commitment to attend these sessions for about 4-6 hours daily, 3-5 days a week, Monday through Friday, with treatment taking place during the day, and individuals free to go back home each night.
PHPs provide in-depth treatment for behavioral health issues and are ideal for those who need a high level of support but don’t require 24-hour supervision. These programs are also suitable as a step down from inpatient rehab, where individuals can gradually ease themselves back into their daily routines.
Preparing for Treatment: What to Expect During Partial Day Treatment
Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Virginia offer a range of treatment services that vary depending on the facility. Some of the most common services you can expect include:
- Medically supervised detox: This service is offered to those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms. PHPs provide medical supervision to assist the body in getting rid of the alcohol or drugs it has become dependent on for basic functioning. If a person shows more severe symptoms, they may be referred to inpatient rehabs or professional detox facilities where they can receive more intensive care and monitoring.
- Individual counseling: During these one-on-one therapy sessions, a therapist works with the individual to resolve unhealthy behaviors and reinforce what was learned during group therapy.
- Group therapy: This is a key component of PHPs. Individuals attend group sessions led by a qualified therapist. They get to connect with others going through similar situations and learn how to interact without relying on drugs.
- Behavioral therapy: Behavioral therapy is designed to identify the negative thoughts that lead to substance abuse. It uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals change their behaviors by identifying and replacing negative thought patterns with more positive ones.
- Aftercare planning: This involves preparing those struggling with addiction to face life after treatment. One key area of focus is relapse prevention where they’re taught coping strategies to stay sober. They may also be given contacts for sober living homes, 12-step programs, and other communities to join for support after treatment.
- Holistic treatment: Some PHPs in Virginia offer holistic treatment to complement addiction treatment sessions. These include art classes, yoga, equine therapy, or even music therapy classes.
