A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured and intensive mental health treatment option designed for individuals who require more support than traditional outpatient care but do not need round-the-clock medical supervision provided by inpatient hospitalization. PHPs offer a higher level of care than standard outpatient therapy but are less restrictive than full inpatient hospitalization.

At 1st Step, our South Florida PHP offers individuals the resources and skills they need in order to break free from addiction and overcome its effects on their lives.
