What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is the most intensive outpatient level of care — typically 5 days a week, 5–6 hours a day — and is designed for people who need significant clinical structure but don't require 24-hour inpatient care. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) is a step-down level offering 9–15 hours of therapy per week, allowing residents to work, attend school, or fulfill family responsibilities while still receiving robust clinical support.
Do these partner programs treat both mental health and substance use disorder?
Yes. Across the four partner programs, we cover both primary mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, bipolar, trauma) and substance use disorders (alcohol, opioids, stimulants), as well as co-occurring (dual diagnosis) cases where both are present.
How do Phoenix recovery houses work alongside PHP and IOP?
Phoenix provides the safe, structured living environment — drug-and-alcohol testing, house rules, peer accountability — while our partner programs deliver the clinical therapy, psychiatric care, and medication management. Together, housing plus clinical treatment is the gold standard for early-recovery success.
Do partner programs accept insurance?
All four partner programs accept most major commercial insurance plans and offer free, confidential insurance verification. Contact each program directly for the most current list of accepted plans.
Can I attend treatment virtually?
Yes. Pennsylvania Behavioral Health and Jersey Behavioral Health both offer fully virtual IOP for mental health, in addition to in-person tracks. Virtual care is ideal for residents balancing work, school, or family obligations.
