Question 1

What is the difference between PHP and IOP?

Accepted Answer

The difference between a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP) is that PHP provides a more intensive treatment and level of care than an IOP, typically requiring individuals to take a break from work or school. In contrast, IOP is less intensive, allowing individuals to maintain their daily routines while attending group sessions for a few hours several times per week.

With a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), participants attend group treatment sessions for four hours a day, five days a week, allowing participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the 20-hours a week of group work that this program requires, PHP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as recommended, and psychiatric monitoring.

Clarity Clinic's Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP) involves participants attending group treatment sessions for three hours a day, three to five days a week depending on the participant's assessed needs. This allows participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the structured 9-15 hours a week of group work that this program requires, IOP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy and optional medication management.

Both PHP and IOP programs aim to stabilize individuals in need of additional mental health support by providing comprehensive psychiatric and therapeutic care, teaching coping skills and recurrence management strategies, and supporting individuals in their wellness journey. These programs offer an alternative to inpatient hospitalization and serve as either a step-up for individuals who require additional support but do not necessitate the intensity of an acute care setting, or as a step-down from an acute care setting, allowing individuals to receive the support they need while maintaining connections to their communities and support networks.

Question 5

How long does PHP/IOP treatment last at Clarity Clinic Mokena?

Accepted Answer

If someone is engaged in PHP treatment at Clarity Clinic's Mokena location, they will attend group treatment sessions for four hours a day from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday. This allows participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the 20-hours a week of group work that this program requires, PHP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, psychiatric monitoring, and psychoeducation. PHP offers a higher level of support and structure than IOP.

Our Clarity Clinic Mokena IOP program runs from 4:30pm - 7:30pm, three to five days per week depending on the participant's assessed needs. These hours are ideal for clients that have school, work, or family duties to attend to. In addition to the structured 9-15 hours a week of group work that this program requires, IOP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, optional medication management, and psychoeducation.

If a client requires more support than what's provided in the maximum level of care available for IOP, they may transition to a PHP program. Unlike PHP, clients in IOP may continue working with their outpatient therapist during treatment.

The duration of your PHP/IOP treatment at Clarity Clinic Mokena will vary based on your unique recovery progress, as individual needs differ for each person.

Question 10

What Should Someone Do After Completing PHP/IOP Treatment at Clarity Clinic Mokena?
