IOP and PHP are both forms of outpatient treatment for substance abuse and mental health disorders. The main difference between the two is the level of care and intensity of treatment provided. IOP typically involves attending therapy sessions several times a week, for a few hours each session. It allows individuals to continue with their daily responsibilities such as work or school while receiving treatment. On the other hand, PHP requires more time commitment, with patients attending therapy sessions for most of the day but returning home at night. The type of program recommended for you will depend on your specific needs and circumstances. Our admissions team will assess your situation during the initial consultation and recommend the best course of treatment for you.
