Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Dayton, Ohio

PHP is for someone who needs treatment most of the day, on most days, and has a safe home to go back to each evening. It is often the next step after ambulatory detox in Dayton, in the same building. It also suits people leaving an inpatient or residential program elsewhere, and people for whom intensive outpatient was not enough.

Four hours a day go to therapy group, which licensed clinicians lead using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, with 12-step facilitation where it helps. A relapse prevention hour works through your own triggers and plans, and there is an hour of nurse education. One or two individual appointments fit around the groups, with your therapist, case manager, peer support, a nurse or the nurse practitioner.

Depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder and PTSD are all treated in PHP, whether or not alcohol or drugs are involved. You see the nurse practitioner every week for medication.

The facility is on Patterson Road in Dayton, about three miles southeast of downtown in a straight line, and it is the nearer of Leora's two facilities for anyone living south of the city. PHP means making the trip five days a week, and Leora does not provide transportation, so settle how you will get there when you book.

When you and your treatment team agree you are ready, the next level is intensive outpatient in Dayton, then outpatient, then the alumni recovery program. Your length of stay depends on the goals set with the team early on.
