What Is Day Treatment (PHP)?

Day treatment is structured, intensive outpatient care that meets during the day, Monday through Friday. You attend programming at our Fort Myers center and go home each evening.

You may see it called a Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP. At Sprout Recovery, these are the same program. Different name, same care.

What day treatment includes:

  • Daily clinical programming, Monday through Friday
  • Individual therapy and clinician-led group sessions
  • Medication management by a board-certified psychiatrist
  • Access to Neurofeedback
  • Family and couples counseling
  • A treatment plan built from your assessment and adjusted as you go

Many clients step down from day treatment into IOP as they stabilize. Others start directly in IOP. The assessment tells us which one fits.

Day Treatment FAQs - PHP Program in Fort Myers, FL

Is day treatment the same as PHP?

Yes. Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP, is the clinical term. Day treatment is what most people call it. At Sprout Recovery, they are the same program.

Day treatment is our most intensive level, meeting during the day on weekdays. IOP meets fewer hours and fewer days, with evening options, so it fits around a job or school. Many clients step down from day treatment into IOP.

No. Day treatment is an outpatient program. You attend during the day and go home in the evening, or to our supportive recovery housing if you are using it.

It is a weekday daytime commitment, so full-time work is difficult. If keeping your job is essential, ask our team about IOP, which is built for exactly that.

No. We are an outpatient center. If you need detox first, call us, and we will point you toward a trusted provider, then welcome you when you are ready.
