Partial Hospitalization Program in Portland, Maine
Liberty Bay Recovery Center in Portland, ME, offers a structured Partial Hospitalization Program for adults seeking focused addiction treatment. Our team provides evidence-based care to help you build stability, develop recovery skills, and move forward with confidence.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured level of addiction treatment that takes place during the day. Clients attend therapy and clinical services but do not stay overnight.
PHP is often recommended after detox or residential treatment. It can also help people who need more support than standard outpatient care.
Licensed clinicians lead therapy sessions, guide recovery planning, and teach practical coping skills. The goal is to help people stabilize, address substance use, and build healthy habits that support long-term recovery.
What is a partial hospitalization program?
Both Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs provide structured addiction treatment without requiring residential care. The main difference is the level of support.
PHP
- Higher level of clinical care
- More therapy hours each week
- Regular medical monitoring
IOP
- Lower level of clinical support
- Fewer therapy hours each week
- More independence
Many people begin treatment in PHP and later move to an IOP as they progress.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PHP Treatment?
A Partial Hospitalization Program may be right for you if you:
- Recently completed detox or residential treatment
- Want structured addiction treatment while living at home
- Need more support than traditional outpatient care
