Lion’s Gate Recovery: Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) With Sober Living Support

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Lion’s Gate Recovery provides intensive daytime addiction treatment combined with the stability and accountability of sober living options. This structured step-down level of care helps individuals transition safely from residential treatment into increasing independence — without losing the support early recovery requires.

• Step-down from residential treatment
• More intensive than IOP or outpatient care
• Strong dual-diagnosis and trauma-informed support
• Daily therapeutic structure
• Integrated sober living housing options
• Safe transition toward independence

PHP + sober living offers the ideal balance of structure, accountability, and real-world recovery practice.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

PHP is a highly structured clinical program that provides multiple hours of therapy daily while allowing clients to return home or to sober living in the evenings. It serves as a bridge between residential treatment and outpatient care.

• Daily group therapy
• Weekly individual therapy
• Psychiatric and clinical oversight
• Relapse-prevention training
• Life-skills development
• Accountability and structured routines

PHP + Sober Living: Strengthening Early Recovery

Sober living enhances PHP by providing a structured, substance-free environment where clients can practice recovery skills outside of treatment hours. Peer accountability, curfews, shared responsibilities, and reduced exposure to triggers significantly lower relapse risk.

Clinical Services in PHP

Clients receive individual therapy, daily group therapy, trauma-informed treatment, dual-diagnosis support, relapse-prevention education, and life-skills reinforcement.

Therapies may include CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR (when appropriate), relapse-prevention therapy, family systems therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.

Transition to IOP, Outpatient & Aftercare

After completing PHP, clients typically step down to Intensive Outpatient (IOP), outpatient treatment, and long-term aftercare — often continuing in sober living for added stability during reintegration.

Why PHP With Sober Living Works

PHP is effective because it combines structured daily therapy with real-world practice in a safe living environment. Clients rebuild emotional regulation, coping skills, communication abilities, and relapse-prevention strategies while gradually increasing independence.
