Who it's for

Our PHP Program in NH

This program is ideal for those with less severe substance abuse disorders who require significant support but also have the stability to spend part of their day at home.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, yet are medically and emotionally stable, our PHP program may be helpful. We recommend clients who have higher risks (such as tendencies for self-harm) consider more intensive residential programs.
Our goal is to provide a supportive environment while respecting each client's needs.

Also called Day Treatment

Day Treatment and PHP in Londonderry Are One Program

In New Hampshire you will hear this level of care called Day Treatment or Partial Hospitalization (PHP). At our Londonderry center they are the same program: several hours of therapy and skill-building each weekday, and home every evening. Day Treatment is usually a good fit for:
  • Adults who need strong support in recovery but do not need round-the-clock medical supervision
  • People with a stable home and supportive people around them each day
  • People leaving a full-time rehab program and adjusting back to regular life
  • People who are new to recovery
It is an intensive schedule that still leaves room for home and family. As you stabilize, you step down to IOP, Evening IOP or outpatient care with the same clinical team.

For families

Looking for intervention help in New Hampshire?

If you are a family member trying to get a loved one to accept treatment, PHP may be the level of care they start in, but the guide you need first is our intervention help page for families in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. It covers how a professional intervention works, how we coordinate with the independent interventionist your family chooses, and what happens the same day your loved one says yes. We do not employ interventionists. We handle the assessment, the insurance check and the start of treatment that follow.

Frequently asked

FAQ About Our PHP in New Hampshire

Who Is a PHP Program For?
The Clear Steps Recovery PHP Program in New Hampshire can benefit people who need robust addiction recovery support but don't require round-the-clock medical supervision; people with a good home life and family and friends who can support them each day; people who have completed a full-time rehab program and are adjusting to daily life; and people who are new to addiction recovery. This program delivers intense treatment but still allows some independence. If you're struggling with drug or alcohol addiction and want a program with guidance and the flexibility to live with your daily life, Clear Steps Recovery may be a good fit.
Where Is The PHP Program At Clear Steps Recovery Located?
Clear Steps Recovery offers PHP services at our facility located at 1D Commons Dr, Units 21 & 22, Londonderry, NH. Contact us today for more information on how to begin your custom program.
Does insurance cover PHP in New Hampshire?
Most plans cover partial hospitalization when a clinical assessment supports it, usually with authorization before the first day. Read how Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim and Tufts, Ambetter, NH Medicaid and TRICARE and VA Community Care handle PHP at our Londonderry center. We are not in network with Medicare at this time. Admissions verifies your plan with the carrier at no cost.
How Long Does the Partial Hospitalization Program Last?
Clear Steps Recovery offers fully customized programs for each patient. Everyone's experiences, substance use history, program participation, and more will be different and factor into the program length. Contact us today for more information about customizing a program for your recovery needs.
How Does Psychoeducation Help with the PHP Program?
Psychoeducation is integral to our New Hampshire PHP Program. Patients learn about addiction and how it can impact not only the body but also the mind. They also learn to identify negative thoughts and habits that may be associated with their addiction. With this knowledge, strategies can be developed to help patients overcome challenges and aid in successful recovery.
What happens in a partial hospitalization program?
Full clinical days on weekdays, then home at night. A day at our Londonderry center combines group therapy, individual counseling, psychoeducation about how addiction works, skill-building sessions and regular evaluations of your progress, with medication management and medication-assisted treatment built in when they fit. It is about 20 or more hours a week, our most structured level of care, and the same clinicians stay with you when you step down to IOP.
What is the average length of stay in a PHP?
At Clear Steps Recovery, Day Treatment (PHP) is often a few weeks before stepping down to IOP, and the timing is set by progress rather than a fixed calendar. Insurance carriers usually authorize partial hospitalization a set number of days at a time and review progress before approving more, and our clinicians handle those reviews. The step down is planned with you before it happens, so support never stops abruptly.
Is PHP worth it compared with IOP?
For the right person, yes. PHP gives most of the clinical support of a residential program without the overnight stay or the room-and-board cost, which matters for people stepping down from detox, dealing with a co-occurring mental health condition, or needing daily contact early on. If you are medically stable and need to keep working, IOP or Evening IOP is often the better fit. A clinical assessment, often the same day you call, tells you plainly which one.
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
Hours and intensity. PHP, which we call Day Treatment, is full clinical days on weekdays, about 20 or more hours a week. IOP is about nine to twelve hours a week, by day or on Monday through Thursday evenings from 6 to 9 pm. Both are outpatient, so you live at home either way, with the same Londonderry team. Most people step from PHP to IOP as they stabilize. See IOP vs PHP for a full comparison.
Can I keep working during PHP?
Day Treatment runs full weekdays, so most people take medical leave or arrange work around it for a few weeks. If stepping away is not possible, Evening IOP meets Monday through Thursday from 6 to 9 pm at the same Londonderry center, and a clinician will tell you which level your situation calls for. Treatment is confidential and nothing is shared with an employer without your written consent.
Do I have to go to detox before PHP?
Sometimes. Heavy daily drinking, benzodiazepine dependence or a history of withdrawal seizures means medical detox comes first. Detox is not provided on site at Clear Steps Recovery. We arrange it with a partner facility, or through The Doorway NH by dialing 211, and plan your first day of Day Treatment for when it is complete. Many people, though, start PHP directly when their assessment shows they are medically stable.
