    What Is a High-Intensity Outpatient Program (HIOP) / Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

    The Beachcomber’s Partial Hospitalization Program (now called: HIOP – High-Intensity Outpatient Program) in Fort Lauderdale, or PHP/HIOP, is designed for individuals who require very intensive therapeutic support while still maintaining daily responsibilities at home or work. Clients in this program receive a minimum of 6 hours of treatment per day, Monday through Saturday, and reside either at home or in our recommended Partial Hospitalization Program housing in Florida.

    Who Is the PHP/HIOP Program Ideal For?

    This flexible yet intensive level of care is ideal for:

    • Parents who need to be home in the mornings and evenings
    • Caregivers with daily household responsibilities
    • Pet owners who cannot be away overnight
    • Individuals with health conditions that require nightly care
    • Working professionals who must check in at work
    • Clients who benefit from more autonomy during treatment

    Medical and psychiatric staff are available on-premise weekly and as needed to ensure holistic care.

    What Sets Our PHP/HIOP Apart?

    Unlike inpatient programs that require full-time residence, our PHP/HIOP allows individuals to receive structured treatment while staying connected to their everyday lives. We believe that addressing real-life challenges as they arise with a therapist fosters deeper, longer-lasting recovery.

    Our PHP/HIOP Includes:

    • Trauma-focused intensive outpatient groups
    • LGBTQ+ group therapy
    • Art therapy and music therapy
    • Nutrition and wellness groups
    • Individual therapy sessions
    • In-house psychiatrist
    • Gender-specific groups
    • Integrated recovery planning
    • Process groups and relapse prevention
    • Family therapy sessions
    • On-site nursing care
    • Age-specific group sessions

    Each therapeutic option is tailored to the unique needs of every client.

    Understanding Levels of Care

    We offer various levels of care designed to meet clients where they are in their recovery journey:

    • Detox – Medically supervised withdrawal in a secure setting
    • Residential/Inpatient – 24/7 supervised care in a therapeutic environment
    • Partial Hospitalization / HIOP – Intensive daily treatment with return to home or supportive housing
    • Outpatient Programs – Less frequent sessions to maintain recovery
    • Dual Diagnosis Treatment – Integrated care for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders

    PHP/HIOP vs. Inpatient Care

    PHP/HIOP treatment is a step down from round-the-clock inpatient programs. With PHP/HIOP, clients benefit from nearly all the same resources as an inpatient program—without the overnight stay. It’s ideal for individuals recovering from:

    • Substance use disorders
    • Mental health conditions
    • Co-occurring (dual diagnosis) issues

    This approach allows for a smoother transition from inpatient to outpatient treatment and helps clients gradually reintegrate into their normal lives with continued structure and support.

    Partial Hospitalization Program

    Why Choose Partial Hospitalization?

    PHP/HIOP is an effective alternative to inpatient care or a transition step from inpatient to outpatient treatment. Except for overnight stays, PHP/HIOP provides access to the same therapeutic resources as inpatient programs. Clients participate in scheduled treatment sessions six days a week and return home each evening.

    Compared to inpatient programs with 24/7 care, PHP/HIOP offers a step-down level of supervision while still delivering comprehensive treatment. Whether addressing mental health, substance use disorders, or dual diagnosis, patients receive intensive care while maintaining their home environment. This approach helps those who do not require constant supervision to receive effective therapy while preserving their daily routines.

    For many, PHP/HIOP facilitates a smoother transition back to daily life after inpatient treatment, reducing the shock of returning home and supporting sustained recovery.
