Comprehensive Partial Hospitalization Treatment for Drug and Alcohol Addiction
Recovery from drug and alcohol addiction requires the right level of care at the right time. For many individuals, a Partial Hospitalization Program provides an effective balance between intensive treatment and personal independence.
At Tulip Hill Recovery, our Partial Hospitalization Program in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, offers structured, evidence-based addiction treatment for adults who need more support than traditional outpatient care but do not require 24-hour residential supervision.
Whether you are transitioning from detox, stepping down from residential treatment, or seeking a higher level of care than an Intensive Outpatient Program, our PHP can help you build a stronger foundation for lasting recovery.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program, commonly called PHP, is one of the most intensive forms of outpatient addiction treatment. Clients participate in structured clinical care during the day while returning home or to a supportive sober living environment in the evenings.
Unlike residential treatment, PHP does not require an overnight stay. However, it provides multiple hours of therapy, recovery-focused programming, and clinical support several days each week.
How Our PHP Program Works
Every recovery journey is different. Treatment plans are based on clinical assessment, substance use history, mental health needs, current stability, and long-term recovery goals.
Comprehensive Assessment
Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation to determine the appropriate level of care and identify co-occurring mental health or medical needs.
Individual Therapy
One-on-one counseling helps clients address the underlying causes of addiction, strengthen coping skills, and create personalized recovery strategies.
Group Therapy
Group sessions support accountability, communication, peer connection, and opportunities to practice recovery skills in a supportive environment.
Family Therapy
When clinically appropriate, family participation can improve communication, repair relationships, and help loved ones better understand recovery.
Medication Management
Clinical providers may coordinate psychiatric medication or medication-assisted treatment when appropriate as part of an integrated plan.
Relapse Prevention Planning
Clients learn to identify triggers, manage cravings, develop healthier coping responses, and create practical plans for continued sobriety.
Who Benefits from a Partial Hospitalization Program?
PHP can be effective for adults who need significant structure and clinical support but are stable enough to live outside a residential setting.
- Individuals completing residential treatment
- Clients transitioning from medical detox
- Adults with moderate to severe substance use disorders
- Individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions
- People who have experienced a recent relapse
- Adults who need more structure than standard outpatient care
PHP bridges the gap between inpatient and outpatient treatment by maintaining accountability while helping clients rebuild independence.
Conditions Treated in Our PHP Program
Alcohol Addiction
PHP provides structured treatment that helps clients address alcohol use, strengthen coping skills, and build a more stable recovery routine.
Opioid and Fentanyl Addiction
Clients recovering from prescription opioids, heroin, fentanyl, or other synthetic opioids receive behavioral support, relapse-prevention planning, and continuing care.
Heroin Addiction
Structured therapy and individualized planning help clients address cravings, triggers, relapse risk, and the behavioral patterns connected to heroin use.
Methamphetamine Addiction
Treatment helps clients regain emotional stability, improve daily functioning, and develop healthier routines after stimulant use.
Cocaine Addiction
PHP supports clients in identifying triggers, managing cravings, and repairing areas of life affected by cocaine use.
Prescription Drug Addiction
Dependence involving benzodiazepines, stimulants, and prescription pain medications may require structured therapy and ongoing clinical support.
Dual Diagnosis Partial Hospitalization Program
Many adults struggling with addiction also experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, or trauma-related symptoms.
When mental health symptoms contribute to substance use, treating addiction alone may not be enough. Our dual diagnosis approach addresses substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns together.
Integrated treatment can help clients achieve greater emotional stability, better understand triggers, and build a recovery plan that supports both mental health and sobriety.
Benefits of a Partial Hospitalization Program
Intensive Clinical Support
Clients receive a higher level of therapy and monitoring than traditional outpatient care.

Peer and Family Support
Group connection and appropriate family involvement can strengthen the recovery environment.
Real-World Reintegration
Returning home in the evenings allows clients to practice recovery skills while maintaining substantial clinical support.
Continuity of Care
PHP creates a smoother transition from detox or residential treatment into IOP and standard outpatient services.
PHP vs. Residential Treatment
| Feature | PHP | Residential Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight stay | No | Yes |
| Clinical structure | High | Highest |
| Therapy hours | Extensive | Extensive |
| Independence | Greater | Limited |
| Community reintegration | Immediate | Delayed |
Residential treatment is generally more appropriate for individuals who need 24-hour supervision, medical monitoring, or greater stabilization. PHP may be recommended once a client is stable enough to begin reintegrating into daily life.
PHP vs. Intensive Outpatient Program
| Feature | PHP | IOP |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly hours | 20–30+ | 9–15 |
| Clinical intensity | Higher | Moderate |
| Structure | Extensive | More flexible |
| Supervision | Greater | Less intensive |
| Recovery support | Comprehensive | Moderate |
Clients who need significant therapeutic support often begin with PHP before transitioning into an Intensive Outpatient Program as recovery progresses.
PHP vs. Standard Outpatient Treatment
| Feature | PHP | Standard Outpatient |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly treatment hours | 20–30+ | 1–6 |
| Clinical support | Extensive | Limited |
| Structure | High | Low |
| Often appropriate for | Moderate to severe addiction | Milder or more stable needs |
PHP provides substantially more structure and accountability than standard outpatient treatment and may be appropriate when lower-intensity services are not sufficient.
