Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) Wilmington, NC

What is Partial Hospitalization Program? (PHP)

Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP, is a form of treatment designed to immerse individuals in a recovery environment and address their needs holistically using evidenced based practices. At Brighter Start Health, this service is intended for individuals 18 years of age and older with a primary substance use disorder. Co-occurring mental health disorders may also be present and addressed concurrently while in this enhanced level of care.

Individuals recommended for PHP are in need of high levels of monitoring and can expect to attend this treatment service Monday through Friday. Length of treatment is between 4 and 16 weeks depending on individual progress towards treatment goals. PHP is offered in-person and individuals have the choice of attending the morning group from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm or the evening group from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
