PHP; Partial Hospitalization Program
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Echoes of Hope LLC offers intensive, structured treatment for individuals with moderate to severe substance use disorders and/or co-occurring mental health conditions. PHP is designed to serve clients who require a high level of clinical support but do not meet inpatient criteria. The program serves as a vital transition point from detox, residential care, incarceration, or unstable housing environments.
PHP is trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, and emphasizes stabilization, coping skills, housing support, and reintegration into community life.
