When you’re seeking structure, support, and healing without stepping away from everyday responsibilities, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) can be the ideal level of care. At Milestone Recovery in Fountain Hills, our PHP offers the intensity of inpatient treatment with the flexibility of outpatient care — helping clients build stability, learn coping tools, and move confidently toward long-term recovery.

If you’re wondering what a typical week looks like in a PHP, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the Fountain Hills PHP schedule and how it supports whole-person wellness.

What Is a PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program is a structured treatment plan that provides several hours of clinical and therapeutic support each day, usually five days a week. It’s a key part of the continuum of care for those stepping down from inpatient rehab or needing more structure than a traditional outpatient program.

At Milestone Recovery, our Fountain Hills PHP focuses on:

• Evidence-based therapy (DBT, CBT, trauma-informed care)
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate
• Dual-diagnosis support for co-occurring mental health conditions
• Life skills and relapse prevention
• Family and community involvement
• Holistic wellness (nutrition, mindfulness, fitness, creative expression)
