Who Our Partial Care Program Is For
PHP is the right level of care when you need daily clinical structure but not 24-hour inpatient supervision. It fits adults stepping down from residential or hospital care who are not ready for less frequent treatment, and people whose symptoms need more support than weekly therapy or IOP can provide while still living at home. We treat mental health conditions, substance use, and co-occurring disorders in the same program. PHP works for people who have a stable place to return to each evening and need the most intensive support our outpatient continuum offers.
What Our Partial Care Program Looks Like
PHP at Élevé is full-day programming built around an intake assessment that maps your symptoms, history, and goals into a treatment plan. Your day combines individual therapy, group sessions, family counseling, and skills-building workshops, and the schedule is set by clinical need rather than a fixed template. You attend during the day and return home each evening, which keeps you connected to family and community while you focus on treatment. When it is clinically appropriate, psychiatric services and medication management are part of your care. As you stabilize and meet milestones, your team prepares you to step down to a lower level of care.
Conditions We Treat In Partial Care
Our Partial Care Program treats the following:
- Depression and mood disorders
- Anxiety and panic disorders
- Trauma and PTSD
- Bipolar disorder
- Substance use disorders
- Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
If you are unsure whether PHP is the right starting point, an intake assessment sorts it out. Call (833) 902-7098 to talk it through.
Therapies And Modalities In Our Partial Care Program
Our PHP uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and EMDR, delivered across individual and group sessions and matched to what you are treating.
CBT helps you connect the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors driving depression, anxiety, or substance use, and practice new responses. DBT builds emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills, and fits people managing intense emotions or self-harm urges. EMDR is structured trauma therapy for people carrying PTSD or unresolved trauma, delivered by clinicians trained in the protocol. Skills-building workshops and family sessions round out the day, giving you practical tools and bringing the people closest to you into the work when that supports recovery. When clinically appropriate, psychiatric evaluation and medication management are integrated into your plan.
How Partial Care fits Into The Continuum at Élevé
PHP is the top of our outpatient continuum, and you can move between levels without leaving Élevé. Many people enter PHP as a step down from residential or hospital care, using it to stabilize before life gets less structured. As you progress, you step down to our Intensive Outpatient Program for continued treatment around work or school, and later to our Outpatient Program for lighter, ongoing support. When a mental health condition and substance use occur together, our co-occurring disorders treatment is built into the same plan. Because every level runs in the same building with the same clinical team, moving between them does not mean starting over or repeating your history.
PHP vs. IOP: Which Level Is Right For You?
Dimension | Partial Care (PHP) | Intensive Outpatient (IOP) |
Intensity | Highest outpatient level; full-day | A few hours a day, several days a week |
Living | At home, full days at the facility | At home, around work or school |
Best for | Step-down from inpatient, or needing daily structure | Step-down from PHP, or a stable home |
Schedule | Daytime, most of the day | Day and evening options |
Common next step | Step down to IOP | Step down to Outpatient |
PHP is the right level when you need daily structure to stay stable and are not ready to manage with less. IOP is the right level when you can hold your daily responsibilities and attend treatment for a few hours at a time. Many people move from PHP to IOP as they progress, and your clinical team recommends the right starting point at assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is partial care different from standard outpatient therapy?
Partial care is full-day programming several days a week, offering far more structure and clinical support than weekly outpatient appointments. It is the most intensive level of outpatient care, designed for people who need daily treatment but not overnight supervision.
Do I have to attend every day?
Schedules vary by clinical need. Your team recommends a plan that matches your goals and stability rather than a fixed attendance rule.
Can partial care treat both mental health and addiction?
Yes. PHP addresses co-occurring mental health and substance use needs together in one integrated plan.
Will I see a psychiatrist or receive medication support?
If it is clinically appropriate, psychiatric services and medication management are included as part of your treatment.
Can I do partial care by telehealth?
PHP is primarily an in-person, full-day program at our Hillsborough facility. Your care team will discuss any telehealth components at intake.
What happens after I complete partial care?
You build a step-down plan with your team, usually moving into our Intensive Outpatient Program or Outpatient Program, plus groups or ongoing support to sustain your progress.
Not sure if Partial Care is the right level?
Choosing where to start is hard to do alone, and you do not have to. A short conversation with our team is enough to figure out whether PHP is the right level or whether IOP or outpatient care fits better for where you are right now.
