Finding the right rehab program can be overwhelming. Across the country, and right here in Southern California, there are thousands of detox centers and rehab programs. It can be challenging for those in the LGBTQ community struggling with addiction to find a safe place to detox. Some may attempt to quit cold turkey or detox at home. This method is often unsuccessful, leading to relapse and overdose. Luckily there are inpatient and outpatient programs like a partial hospitalization program (PHP) to help.
At La Fuente Hollywood Treatment Center, we work with cutting-edge rehab tools and psychiatric support for the LGBTQ community. If you want to learn more about partial hospitalization programs, call us today at 888.903.9898.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
Partial hospitalization, also known as PHP, is a type of outpatient rehab. In PHP, clients spend several hours a day in a rehab facility, returning home at night. These programs treat both mental illness and addiction. A typical day in a PHP includes group therapy, coping strategies, skill-building, and individual therapy. They usually include weekly evaluations of progress to address addiction triggers, home life, and other stressors affecting recovery.
The federal government sets parameters for PHP requirements. This helps treatment centers across the country provide standard care. Partial hospitalization programs are often confused with intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Unlike IOPs, partial hospitalization requires clients to attend rehab at least 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. They often last 3 to 4 weeks.
Benefits of PHP Rehab
Partial hospitalization programs may not be suitable for everyone. Some people need residential programs to remove them from unstable home lives. However, there are many benefits to PHPs. These include:
- Affordability. Many PHPs cost less than residential programs.
- Maximizing insurance benefits. Insurance may cover more partial hospitalization program costs than residential rehab costs.
- Flexible schedule. For those who can’t take the time away from home for residential rehab, PHP offers flexibility.
- Duration. PHP programs take less time to complete than other types of rehab.
- Help residents transition from inpatient rehab. PHPs can help people transition back into home life with substantial mental health and addiction support.
PHPs are ideal for those with stable home lives. It is also ideal for those who’ve completed an inpatient program. It requires more independence than residential programs. If you have community support, a steady job, and a safe home life, PHP may be right for you.
Why Choose an LGBTQ Partial Hospitalization Program?
Sadly, the LGBTQ community is disproportionately affected by addiction. Self-medication, bar culture, and party culture lead many in the community to drug and alcohol dependency. A lack of inclusive mental health and addiction support across the country can make rehab unsafe for some community members. Many have trouble asking for help or finding inclusive rehab programs. This means LGBTQ-friendly partial hospitalization programs are more needed than ever. For those in PHPs, it can be easier to overcome addiction with others. Safe group therapy with a community that understands a person’s experience can make a world of difference in recovery.
