Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Cherry Hill, NJ

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the most structured level of outpatient care we offer at Cherry Hill Recovery Center. PHP is designed for individuals who need intensive, daily clinical support but do not require 24-hour residential care. Patients attend treatment five to six days a week and return home each evening — making it an ideal option for those stepping down from inpatient rehab or who need more clinical structure than a standard Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) can provide.

What Does a Typical Day in PHP Look Like?

A typical day in our PHP combines individual therapy, group counseling, psychiatric services, Medication Assisted Treatment, and skill-building workshops. Our team — led by board-certified psychiatrist our medical team — uses evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and dual-diagnosis treatment to address the underlying causes of substance use. For patients requiring withdrawal management, we coordinate seamlessly with our Medical Detox services.

Why Choose Cherry Hill Recovery Center for PHP?

What sets our PHP apart is the personal attention. We keep our groups intentionally small, build a custom treatment plan around your needs, and coordinate care with your family, employer, or referring provider when appropriate. Most major insurance plans cover PHP — we'll verify your insurance for you.

Is PHP Right for You?

PHP is the right level of care if you need more support than weekly outpatient therapy provides but do not need 24-hour supervision.
