A day in PHP
Structure that makes space for real clinical work
Exact schedules vary by clinical need, but a PHP day is built around assessment, therapy blocks, skills practice, and community—not idle time.
- Morning
Check-in & grounding
Start with clinical check-in, intention-setting, and a clear view of symptoms and goals for the day.
- Midday
Core therapy blocks
Individual and group therapy—CBT, DBT skills, process groups, and dual-diagnosis work with licensed clinicians.
- Afternoon
Skills & holistic care
Life skills, relapse prevention, art or music therapy, yoga, and meditation to reinforce body-mind recovery.
- Close
Plan for the evening
Leave with accountability, safety planning, and a path home or to supportive housing until tomorrow’s session.
Schedules are individualized — admissions can walk you through a sample week for your clinical needs.
Why this level
Why choose PHP over other programs
PHP sits between weekly outpatient and full hospitalization—more clinical hours when you need them, without living at a facility overnight.
- 01
Higher intensity without hospitalization
Skilled clinicians and evidence-based methods at day-program intensity—ideal when weekly outpatient is not enough.
- 02
Calm, homelike setting
A Lake Forest campus designed for recovery and accessibility—not a sterile ward or waiting-room culture.
- 03
Often more cost-effective than inpatient
Strong clinical structure without full hospitalization costs. We help verify health insurance benefits confidentially.
- 04
Easier transition in the continuum
Smooth step-down from residential care, or a focused entry before standard outpatient—built to flex with acuity.
PHP may be right if…
- 01
You are medically stable
You need structured mental health and/or addiction support without overnight medical hospitalization.
- 02
You have co-occurring needs
Anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, or other conditions show up alongside substance use—and both need concurrent care.
- 03
Weekly outpatient is not enough
Symptoms, cravings, or instability call for full-day clinical hours and daily accountability.
PHP is not the right fit when…
Immediate crisis or medical emergency
Active self-harm risk, medical instability, or need for 24/7 inpatient monitoring requires a higher level of care first.
You only need light outpatient support
If weekly OP or IOP already matches acuity, we will say so—and route you to the right intensity.
You cannot attend daytime programming
Work or caregiving constraints may point to Evening IOP or another schedule—we help compare options honestly.
Therapies & modalities
Therapies that go beyond sitting and talking
Clinical and experiential work woven through the program day—skills you practice in session and take home each evening.
- 01
DBT & CBT
Evidence-based frameworks for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and cognitive restructuring—practical skills you can use the same day, not only in session.
- Identify triggers and unhelpful thought patterns
- Build distress-tolerance tools for cravings and conflict
- Practice skills in group and individual settings
- 02
Art & music therapy
Creative modalities when talk therapy is not enough. Expressing through art and music can lower anxiety, surface trauma safely, and open processing that words block.
- Nonverbal expression for hard-to-name feelings
- Reduce anxiety through structured creative work
- Integrated with clinical goals—not free-time only
- 03
Yoga & meditation
Body-based regulation so recovery lives in the nervous system. Grounding, breath, and mindful movement help you stay present when stress spikes outside program hours.
- Breathwork and grounding for acute stress
- Gentle movement to reconnect body and mind
- Skills that travel home with you each evening
- 04
Group & peer support
Process groups and peer connection so you practice recovery with people who understand. Isolation fuels use; community builds accountability and hope.
- Clinical process groups led by licensed staff
- Peer connection without judgment
- Practice social skills in a safe setting
- 05
Individual clinical work
One-to-one time with clinicians who track mood, substance use, and behavior on a plan built for you—not a one-size curriculum delivered on autopilot.
- Personalized treatment planning and check-ins
- Space for dual-diagnosis and trauma themes
- Clear goals between program days
- 06
Life skills & accountability
Time management, communication, stress tools, and relapse prevention so the hours after PHP still support recovery—especially for ADHD and dual-diagnosis needs.
- Relapse-prevention planning you can follow
- Daily structure and evening safety planning
- Skills for work, family, and relationships
