What PHP looks like at Elijah's House

Partial Hospitalization is the in-between level of care — more intensive than IOP, less restrictive than residential. You spend your days at our Pasadena estate getting the full clinical programming experience, then return home in the evenings. For clients with stable housing and a supportive environment, PHP can replace residential entirely. For clients stepping down from residential, it's the natural next phase.

PHP days at Elijah's House mirror residential days in clinical depth — the same therapists, the same groups, the same meals. The difference is you go home at night. Many clients prefer this; sleeping in their own bed while still receiving full-day care helps the lessons of treatment integrate with real life.

Who PHP is for

  • Clients stepping down from residential treatment who need continued daily structure
  • Clients whose insurance doesn't authorize full residential but who need more than IOP
  • Working professionals and parents who can't be away from home overnight
  • Clients with stable, sober living environments and reliable transportation
  • Anyone who needs daily clinical support without 24-hour supervision

Frequently asked questions

PHP questions, answered.

How is PHP different from residential?

Same daily clinical content — therapy, groups, psychiatric care. The difference is you go home at night. PHP works best when you have a stable, sober living environment to return to.

How long is PHP?

Most clients attend PHP for 2-4 weeks before stepping down to IOP. Length depends on clinical progress, insurance authorization, and personal circumstances.

Can I work during PHP?

PHP runs 5-6 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Most clients can't maintain a full-time job during PHP — but many manage part-time work in the evenings or take FMLA leave for the duration.

Does insurance cover PHP?

Yes — PHP is covered by most major insurance plans. We're in-network with Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, UMR, UHC, and Optum. Verification typically takes about an hour.

Do I need to live in Pasadena?

You need to be able to commute daily. Most PHP clients live within 30 minutes of Pasadena. We can also help you arrange supportive sober living near our estate if you're coming from out of area.
