Partial Hospitalization Program
If you’re managing overwhelming and regular feelings of intense fear or despair – you’re not alone. You’re also not alone if you’re looking into treatment for yourself or someone you love.
At Oceans Healthcare, we are dedicated to treating everyone managing substance use and mental health disorders with dignity, compassion, and respect. Our partial hospitalization program offers a safe and supportive place for you or your loved one to receive treatment tailored to your unique needs.
The Oceans Experience
We support patients by providing group and individual therapies, medication management and mental health education. Our program offers daily opportunities for therapeutic involvement and patients are allowed to return home or to work at the end of the treatment day. Families and referral sources receive regular updates as appropriate, allowing them to provide patients with additional support to aid long-term recovery and healing.
What We Treat: Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders
Mental health disorders often get to the point where they seem to be controlling your life – you’re no longer the one calling the shots. Lack of sleep, self-care, and even socialization all collide to create a perfect breeding ground for substance use. Almost half of the people who use illicit substances also manage a mental health condition (and its symptoms) on the side. Alcohol, opioids, and even stimulants like meth or cocaine all give off the illusion that they can provide relief from uncomfortable feelings. In reality, these substances are likely making everything worse.
Because of this, Oceans treat comorbid conditions and co-occurring disorders. We know that to succeed in recovery, all conditions need to be accurately identified and treated. We ensure that no stone goes unturned when it comes to your physical and mental health.
How We Treat: The Oceans Experience
Oceans Healthcare treats clients from all walks of life. When you’ve gotten to the point where you’ve decided “enough is enough” and you’re ready to find healing, we create a completely individualized treatment plan that sets you up for success.
Comprehensive support is paramount at Oceans Healthcare, which is why we utilize a variety of therapies and modalities to foster lasting healing. In our partial hospitalization program (PHP), we offer group and individual therapy, medication management, mental health education, and life skills programming for seniors, adults, and adolescents.
PHP at Oceans consists of spending the day here with us and returning to your home in the evenings. This is an ideal option for those who desire flexibility in their scheduling and don’t feel they need a residential treatment program, but who also need the intensity of a rigorous treatment plan that supports long-term transformation.
The Oceans Experience means we don’t just offer daily opportunities for therapeutic involvement – we treat you like family. You will always be respected for your journey, encouraged in your goals, and empowered to succeed.
Medication at Oceans Healthcare
Medication isn’t needed for everyone’s recovery, but having it available opens new doors for many in treatment. Our board-certified psychiatrists guide this process, ensuring consistent clinical excellence combined with compassionate, dignified care.
Alongside regular meetings with your therapists and psychiatrist, you’ll also have monthly meetings with your physician to support a whole-person treatment approach. Your care is always 100% tailored to your age group, personal requirements, and recovery goals. This enhances your experience, promoting meaningful interactions and measurable progress.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)? Here’s What to Expect
Most PHP programs follow a similar schedule – 4 or 5 hours of rigorous therapy in a facility per day with the ability to return home afterward. For many, staying in a treatment facility full-time is just not an option. Family and work obligations can’t always be put on hold to receive treatment, and at Oceans Healthcare, we understand that.
In PHP, you’ll learn about the events that led to your substance use disorder, gaining insight into where you come from and who you are. You’ll also study your triggers, or the things that make you want to turn toward substance use or impulsive behaviors. This allows you to avoid or manage those triggers in the future, preventing a return to use.
We’ll also spend time educating you on your diagnosis and symptoms, which will prepare you for life outside of treatment. You’ll learn about how to prevent a return to use and stay on your path for the long haul. You’ll gain a deep understanding of which coping strategies to use and how to find calm in the most chaotic of times.
Deciding if a Partial Hospitalization Program Right for You: 5 Life-Changing Benefits
The partial hospitalization program at Oceans Healthcare offers the following benefits:
- Full access to our multidisciplinary care teams. Because we take a holistic approach to healthcare, you’ll be given access to physicians, psychiatrists, and therapists regularly during PHP. All members of your care team meet to discuss your progress, your needs, and any changes to your treatment plan. At Oceans, our providers form a strong, dynamic team because we’ve seen how it improves outcomes.
- Immersive community and peer support. Our PHP gives you ample time to connect with others who are also in recovery. Through group therapy, you’ll gain insight into your journey with addiction and/or mental health conditions. You’ll build a network of support while you’re here that will carry you throughout the rest of your life.
- Structured and ongoing medical support. Those who choose to attend PHP at Oceans benefit from medical monitoring. Cleansing your body of the substances you’ve been relying on isn’t always easy. It takes time for the body to adjust and heal itself. It becomes much more manageable under a physician’s care.
- Fully comprehensive care – without the overnight stays. As mentioned, it isn’t always possible for everyone to leave their familial and work obligations behind while they heal. PHP provides many of the same benefits of residential care, without the overnights. This empowers you to stabilize your mental health and find recovery while fostering lasting, healthy habits.
- Decreased chances for a return to use. Stress management skills, coping strategies, and prevention techniques for a return to use are all prioritized in PHP.
Traditional therapy is transformative for many, but if you’ve been living with uncomfortable or unbearable symptoms of a mental health condition for a long time, you may need more intensive care. In this case, a PHP would be ideal for you. You may also benefit from PHP if you have a history of returning to substance use or if you tend to lean on unhealthy coping strategies. A PHP works to change the way you see and interact with the world around you.
How Long Until You’re Healed? A Partial Hospitalization Program Timeline
Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a “timeline” for healing. You are unique, so your timeline will be unique. While some people complete PHP in 4-6 weeks, others choose additional treatment following PHP, like an intensive outpatient program. For many, healing is a lifelong journey supported by weekly therapy appointments.
Your PHP journey may last 1-3 months, but it could also be longer or shorter. Your care team will work with you to determine a timeline that you’re comfortable with.
