At River Rocks Recovery, we understand the unique challenges faced by people in the Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio areas dealing with mental health and addiction issues. That’s why we’ve created our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), which offers a supportive, structured treatment program tailored to your needs.
In our PHP, you’ll participate in intensive daytime therapy, including both individual and group sessions, all while being able to return home each evening. Our caring team is here to walk alongside you on your recovery journey, helping you build coping strategies and improve your emotional well-being. If you or a loved one is seeking a local solution that truly understands the community we serve, our PHP could be the perfect fit for you. We’re dedicated to helping you reach your recovery goals right here in Ohio.
At River Rocks Recovery, our Partial Hospitalization Program gives people in the Middletown, Dayton, and Cincinnati areas full-day clinical treatment for addiction and mental health without an overnight hospital stay. You attend structured therapy during the day, then return home each evening to your family and your own bed. It’s the highest level of care we offer on an outpatient basis, and for many people it’s the right step down from inpatient treatment or the right step up when weekly outpatient sessions aren’t enough.

PHP works best for people who need intensive, daily support but don’t require 24-hour medical supervision. A few situations where it tends to be the right fit:
Not everyone needs this level of care, and that’s fine. If daily treatment is more than you need, our continuum of care includes intensive outpatient and standard outpatient options. A quick conversation with our team will help sort out which level makes sense.
Our PHP runs five days a week, with structured daytime sessions and evenings spent at home. A typical day blends individual counseling, group therapy, and skills workshops, so you’re not sitting through one long block of the same thing. Here’s what your time in the program looks like:
Recovery works best when you trust the people guiding it. At River Rocks Recovery, your Partial Hospitalization Program is led by Ohio-licensed clinicians, therapists, and medical staff who specialize in addiction and co-occurring mental health treatment. You’ll work with the same core team throughout your time in the program, so the people helping you actually know your story.
The most common question we hear is whether to start with PHP or IOP. Both let you live at home while you get treatment; the difference is intensity and time commitment. PHP is the more intensive of the two, built for people who need daily structure. IOP is lighter, designed to fit around work, school, or family responsibilities. Here’s how they compare:
| Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) | Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) | |
|---|---|---|
| Time commitment | About 5 days a week, full days | About 3 days a week, a few hours per session |
| Intensity | Highest outpatient level of care | A step down from PHP |
| Best for | Stepping down from inpatient, or when weekly sessions aren’t enough | People stable enough to balance treatment with work, school, or family |
| Where you live | At home; treatment fills your day | At home; treatment works around your schedule |
| Medication support | MAT available where clinically appropriate | MAT available where clinically appropriate |
| Typical next step | Step down to IOP | Step down to standard outpatient |
Many people move through both. They start in PHP for the daily structure, then step down to our Intensive Outpatient Program as they stabilize. If you’re not sure where you land, call us and we’ll help you figure it out based on your history and where you are right now.
