Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in New Jersey
Redemption Addiction Treatment Center provides a partial hospitalization program (PHP) in Pennsville, New Jersey, for adults who need structured addiction treatment without 24-hour residential care. PHP is the most intensive level of outpatient treatment we offer, providing full-day clinical support while allowing you to return home or to sober housing in the evenings.
As part of our comprehensive drug and alcohol treatment programs, PHP can provide a supportive transition from detox or inpatient treatment or serve as an appropriate starting point for individuals who need more structure than an intensive outpatient or standard outpatient program.
Our team will assess your needs, safety, living environment, and treatment history to determine whether PHP is the right level of care. Located in Pennsville, Redemption serves individuals and families throughout Salem County and South Jersey.
PHP at a Glance
A partial hospitalization program is a clinically structured, full-day level of care for people who need more support than traditional outpatient treatment but do not require 24-hour supervision. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) identifies partial hospitalization as a form of intensive outpatient care that can include individual appointments, group sessions, and coping-skills education (1).
Typical PHP schedule:
- Hours per day: 5–6 hours
- Days per week: Monday–Friday
- Length of stay: 2–4 weeks on average
- Focus: Stabilization, skill-building, and daily therapeutic support
During PHP, you may participate in individual and group therapy, skill-building, psychiatric care, medication management, and other services based on your individualized treatment plan.
PHP may be appropriate for individuals who:
- Have completed detox or inpatient treatment
- Need intensive support for addiction or co-occurring mental health concerns
- Can safely live at home or in sober housing
- Want daily structure without overnight care
PHP may not be appropriate for individuals who:
- Require 24/7 medical monitoring
- Are experiencing an immediate psychiatric or medical crisis
- Cannot safely remain outside a supervised setting
PHP is the highest level of outpatient care. As clients progress, they may step down to an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or outpatient program (OP).
What to Expect Day to Day
PHP provides a consistent weekday structure built around therapy, skill development, clinical support, and recovery planning. While each person’s treatment plan is individualized, clients generally participate in programming for several hours each weekday before returning home or to sober housing in the evening.
Your schedule may include group and individual therapy, psychoeducation, relapse prevention, case management, medication management, and specialty services based on your needs. This structure provides intensive support while helping you practice recovery skills outside of treatment each day.

Virtual Partial Hospitalization Program in New Jersey
For some people, getting to treatment in person every weekday isn’t realistic. Work schedules, childcare, transportation, or health limitations can make attendance difficult—even when the need for support is real.
To reduce barriers to care, Redemption also offers virtual and hybrid treatment options, including PHP, when clinically appropriate. With secure telehealth access, you can participate in structured programming from the privacy of home while still receiving coordinated clinical support.
Virtual PHP may be a good fit if you need a higher level of outpatient structure but cannot consistently attend on site. Placement is determined through a clinical assessment to ensure this option is safe, supportive, and aligned with your needs.
Not sure whether in-person, hybrid, or virtual PHP is right for you? Call (855)718-6286 and we’ll help you compare options.

- Alcohol
- Cocaine

Dual Diagnosis & Co-Occurring Mental Health Treatment
Addiction can occur alongside mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and trauma-related concerns. When substance use and mental health symptoms affect one another, addressing both can be an important part of treatment.
Our partial hospitalization program in South Jersey takes a dual diagnosis approach, treating addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions at the same time. Through a personalized assessment, our clinical team identifies the underlying issues contributing to substance use and builds them into your treatment plan from day one.
Co-occurring conditions we treat alongside addiction:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depression
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma
- Bipolar disorder
- Other mood and behavioral health conditions
Using evidence-based therapies (see below), we help you address the whole picture, not just the symptoms. Our person-centered approach means you're treated as an individual with a unique story, never just another number.

PHP combines intensive clinical support with the flexibility of outpatient care. At Redemption, treatment is individualized based on each client’s substance use, mental health needs, recovery goals, and progress in treatment.
Depending on your treatment plan, services may include:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Nutrition, health, and wellness education
- Motivational interviewing
- Art and music therapy

Costs and Insurance Coverage of Partial Hospitalization Programs in New Jersey
Many insurance plans, including Medicaid, may provide coverage for partial hospitalization programs. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and benefits. The cost typically includes:
- All group and individual therapy sessions
- Psychiatric and medication management
- Case management and aftercare planning
Our admissions team will verify your benefits before you begin. Transparent pricing and honest communication are part of our commitment to care.
What Happens After PHP
PHP is often one part of a longer continuum of care. As stability improves, many clients transition to a step-down level of outpatient treatment, such as IOP or standard outpatient therapy. Medicaid quality measures for substance use disorder treatment similarly recognize outpatient care, intensive outpatient treatment, and partial hospitalization as services that can support continuity of care following inpatient or residential treatment (2).
Before discharge from PHP, your team will help build a plan for what comes next, which may include:
A recommended step-down level (IOP or OP)
A relapse prevention plan and coping strategies for triggers
Ongoing therapy and psychiatric follow-up when needed
Community supports and recovery resources
This step-down approach helps you keep momentum while gradually returning to more independence.
