UNDERSTANDING TREATMENT FOR ADDICTION
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A Partial Hospitalization Program, often referred to as a day program or structured day treatment, provides the intensity of inpatient therapy with the flexibility of returning home each evening.
Despite its name, PHP is not hospital-based—it’s a clinically guided, community-oriented environment offering structure, connection, and personalized therapy. Participants engage in full-day sessions that include individual therapy, skills groups, and holistic activities designed to help them apply recovery tools in real-world settings.
Think of PHP as your bridge between 24-hour care and independent living—a space to strengthen recovery, rebuild emotional stability, and regain confidence before transitioning to outpatient care.
Anchored Tides’ PHP serves as a step-down level of care for clients completing residential or detox treatment. We ensure continuity through progress updates, aftercare coordination, and measurable outcomes that support lasting recovery.
Looking for a step-down from detox, inpatient treatment, or residential program? PHP is the ideal transition between 24/7 care and independent living. Call 866-329-6639 today for more information.


Gender-Specific Outpatient Program
Who Is PHP Best For?
Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. Many women reach a stage where they no longer require residential care but still need structure and daily support to maintain progress. The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers that balance.
Our PHP is designed for women in transitional stages of recovery who are ready to rebuild balance, confidence, and self-trust with help from a compassionate, experienced team. It offers the consistency of a clinical environment while encouraging real-life integration at home, work, or school.
This Level of Care Is Ideal For:
- Women completing detox or residential treatment – You’ve stabilized physically but still need emotional and behavioral support. PHP offers daily therapy and relapse-prevention planning before transitioning to lighter care.
- Those balancing recovery with responsibilities – PHP allows women to engage in intensive treatment while continuing to care for family, pursue education, or work part-time.
- Women with co-occurring disorders – For those managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or PTSD alongside substance use, our dual-diagnosis PHP addresses both conditions together.
- Clients vulnerable to relapse – PHP offers daily accountability and community to help identify triggers early and reinforce coping skills.
- Women seeking structure after a setback – For clients who’ve relapsed or are struggling emotionally, PHP provides a structured space to regain stability and momentum.
CONTINUE YOUR RECOVERY JOURNEY
The Transitional Phase: A Critical Step for Women in Recovery
Between residential treatment and full independence lies what many call “the gray zone.” It’s a vulnerable stage—clients are physically stable but still emotionally raw. Without consistent support, relapse, anxiety, or depression can resurface.
Our PHP serves as a safety net during this stage, offering:
- Structure without confinement: Women attend daily sessions and return home each evening.
- Accountability without judgment: Daily check-ins maintain progress and encourage honest reflection.
- Healing without isolation: A women-only environment ensures safety, understanding, and connection.
Women balancing motherhood, career, or caregiving roles often find PHP to be the perfect balance.
Each day reinforces that recovery doesn’t mean withdrawing from life—it means learning to live it differently, with clarity and self-compassion.

Common Questions About When to Choose PHP
“When should someone enter PHP?”
After completing detox or residential care, once medical stabilization is achieved but emotional healing and relapse prevention are still in progress.
“What’s the difference between PHP and IOP?”
PHP provides full-day structure—roughly 30 hours per week—while an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers fewer sessions and more flexibility.
“Is PHP right if I’m working or raising children?”
Yes. Our flexible schedule allows women to receive structured care while remaining present for family and daily responsibilities.

Community Support & Accountability

PHP for Substance Use Disorders
Women recovering from substance use face unique barriers—guilt, stigma, and the pressure to resume “normal life” before they’re ready. Anchored Tides provides a compassionate environment to break that cycle.
Our PHP Helps Women:
- Identify and manage triggers before they escalate.
- Address trauma that contributes to substance use.
- Rebuild structure and consistency for long-term sobriety.
- Strengthen relationships and boundary-setting.
- Develop emotional awareness and self-compassion.
Common Challenges in Early Recovery
- Balancing parenting or work while focusing on healing.
- Fear of judgment or being perceived as “weak.”
- Emotional swings or loneliness as the body and mind adjust.
- Difficulty trusting oneself after relapse.
Our PHP provides the structure, empathy, and repetition needed to navigate these challenges successfully. By combining daily therapy, peer accountability, and holistic wellness, women learn that recovery is not about punishment—it’s about purpose.
For professionals, PHP serves as a continuum of care that reinforces relapse-prevention tools while helping clients transition confidently toward independence.
PHP for Mental Health Disorders
Not every woman in our program struggles with addiction—many seek support for mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. These conditions often become magnified during transitions, life stress, or after major loss.
Anchored Tides’ PHP provides daily therapy and structured stability for women working to manage symptoms and rebuild confidence.
We Support Women Managing:
- Anxiety and Panic Disorders – Calming the nervous system and learning grounding skills.
- Depression and Mood Disorders – Replacing hopelessness with achievable daily goals.
- Trauma and PTSD – Using EMDR and DBT to process memories without retraumatization.
- Bipolar or Borderline Personality Disorders – Developing emotional regulation and routine.
- Co-Occurring Disorders – Treating mental health and substance use simultaneously.
How PHP Supports Emotional Recovery
- Routine Reduces Anxiety – Consistent schedules restore balance and predictability.
- Therapy Builds Insight – Daily feedback strengthens coping strategies before crises arise.
- Peer Support Normalizes Healing – Shared experiences create belonging and hope.
- Mind-Body Integration – Yoga, breathwork, and nutrition improve resilience and self-trust.
PHP allows women to practice self-regulation in real-world contexts while maintaining the safety net of clinical and peer support. Over time, therapy transitions from survival to empowerment—helping women rediscover their identity and independence.

TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME
How PHP Builds a Foundation for Long-Term Recovery

- Structure: predictable days, consistent therapy, and supportive accountability.
- Skill Mastery: practicing coping tools before real-life stressors arise.
- Community: peer connection that replaces isolation with purpose.

I now have almost 18 months sober and am truly blessed by the life I have today and a HUGE thank you goes out to achored tides and all that they did to help to get me where I am at today. I truly couldn’t not say enough good things about this place or the amount of love that I have for everyone here!

What an amazing place Anchored Tides is. As Amy explained when we first visited, girls and women are an afterthought in many treatment programs, which often are founded and structured for boys and men. Anchored Tides’ holistic approach to ALL of the co-existing issues that girls and women face is groundbreaking, and so appreciated. They are wonderful people who do inspiring work and make the world a better place every day. I highly recommend their sober living and IOP. The founders have crucial and relevant lived experiences and care deeply, and they are amazing role models for all the women help.
