Removing drugs from a person’s system is the first step in the recovery process, but it doesn’t cure addiction.
Recovery takes time. When people initially get sober, they’re not only fighting physical withdrawal symptoms, but they are often experiencing intense drug and alcohol cravings that are nearly impossible to overcome.
Fortunately, nobody has to get sober alone. Addiction treatment programs in Boston can help you or a loved one rediscover a life of sobriety.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is the highest-level outpatient program for addiction treatment that we offer at Greater Boston Addiction Centers. A PHP offers an outpatient experience requiring more significant time commitment, accountability, and structure than an intensive outpatient program or regular outpatient treatment.
While attending our PHP drug treatment program in Needham, MA, you will spend your weekdays at the treatment facility participating in therapy. Partial hospitalization programs are ideal treatment options for individuals who:
- Suffer from severe substance use disorder
- Have attended treatment before and have relapsed
- Require regular psychiatric or medical care
- Have completed detox and want to get acclimated to drug treatment
What Can I Expect from a Partial Hospitalization Program?
The purpose of this therapeutic program is to help patients uncover the root causes of their addictions. Childhood trauma, mental health issues, environmental factors, and physical health problems all play a role in addiction and recovery. Addressing the reasons behind your drug or alcohol abuse is not easy. Many people find this nearly impossible; however, this kind of self-exploration is vital for a successful recovery. Some addiction therapies you can expect during your treatment at your partial hospitalization program in Boston include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Trauma-informed care
- Dual diagnosis treatment
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
- Suboxone treatment
- Vivitrol treatment
Our PHP drug and alcohol rehab program meets from 8 am to 4:30 pm with breaks for lunch and transportation. Our program is structured to hold patients accountable in a nurturing and growth-centered setting. In addition to receiving therapy from our experienced mental health therapists, patients will form bonds with other members of our recovery community. Throughout each client’s treatment plan, they will have access to qualified behavior therapists and expert clinicians who can provide both the emotional support and medical care required for a successful recovery.
What Happens During a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Boston PHP rehab offers a variety of therapies, activities, and experiences for people recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
