A Flexible Bridge to Recovery: PHP at Cenikor
When you need more support than traditional outpatient care, but not the intensity of full-time residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) can provide the right level of structure.
Cenikor’s PHP program for substance abuse offers a focused, daytime treatment environment that helps you stabilize, build momentum, and return to recovery housing or the comfort of your home each evening.
Your Path to Whole-Person Recovery
Each day in our PHP blends evidence-based therapy, skill-building, and peer connection – giving you the tools to heal with purpose while maintaining ties to your life outside of treatment.
PHP treatment at Cenikor is grounded in clinical excellence and delivered with heart.
Creating a Life Well Beyond Recovery
Rather than separating your care, our PHP treatment model integrates trauma-informed therapy, clinical treatment support, and daily emotional guidance into every step of your journey.
This whole-person approach creates space to explore the “why” behind substance use, develop healthy coping tools, and rebuild confidence from the inside out.
If you’re comparing PHP vs. IOP or traditional outpatient care, it’s important to note that our PHP offers a higher level of support that is ideal for those needing a consistent, structured environment to focus deeply on healing.

What is a PHP?
A PHP, or partial hospitalization program, provides structured, focused treatment during the day, including therapy, mental wellness support, and practical skill-building.
In the evenings, you get to return home, giving you the best of both worlds — the deep care of inpatient treatment and the comfort of living in your own home. It’s a powerful bridge that helps you move forward with stability and confidence.
How does a PHP for substance use work?
Our PHP for substance use combines individual and group therapy, relapse prevention classes, and medical support to help you understand and work through the deeper reasons behind addiction. This approach gives you the opportunity to practice new skills immediately while remaining connected to a supportive recovery community that celebrates your progress.
How is a PHP different from an IOP?
When looking at PHP vs. IOP for your recovery, it’s important to know that a PHP offers a higher level of care with more frequent sessions and closer medical and emotional support to keep you moving forward.
An IOP is less intensive and more flexible, making it a great choice for individuals who feel ready to take on more independence while still receiving regular guidance and encouragement.
Is there a PHP near me?
Cenikor offers PHP programs across Texas, including locations in Austin, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Amarillo, Tyler, and Waco. Our team will help you choose the location that feels most aligned with your goals – whether you’re staying close to home or seeking a fresh environment to support your recovery.
What if I can’t afford treatment or don’t have insurance?
Cenikor is a nonprofit organization committed to making high-quality behavioral healthcare accessible to all. We work with a wide range of insurance providers, including Medicaid and private plans, and our team will guide you through the verification process step by step.
If you’re uninsured, we’ll help explore funding options or create a payment plan that fits your situation – because financial challenges should never stand in the way of healing.
