Partial Hospitalization Programs
Partial hospitalization programs are for patients who require intensive treatment during the day and can return to their home in the evening. PHP costs approximately $350-$450 per day.

Individuals in recovery have another option: Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous are two options. These 12-step programs have been helping millions of people to achieve and maintain sobriety for more than 60 years through regular meetings. Many faith-based organizations also offer free treatment options.
