A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, is a structured level of care that typically meets five to six days each week for several hours a day, with no overnight stay. In Fort Lauderdale, 34 SAMHSA-listed facilities offer this option, according to FindTreatment.gov listings updated in 2026. PHP sits between inpatient rehab and intensive outpatient care, offering more support than standard outpatient but less than 24-hour residential treatment. A typical day might include individual therapy, group counseling, medication management, and psychoeducation. Exact schedules vary by program, but most PHPs run during daytime hours so participants can return home in the evening. For someone stepping down from detox or residential care, or for people who need more than weekly therapy, PHP can provide the structure and accountability that supports early recovery. If you are considering PHP, it is worth asking each program how many days per week they meet and what their daily schedule looks like.
In Fort Lauderdale, PHP programs vary in their focus and services. Some specialize in mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction, and 33 of the 34 PHP facilities listed offer dual diagnosis support. Others emphasize substance use treatment alone. A day in PHP might start with a morning check-in group, followed by a therapy session, a skills-building workshop, and an afternoon process group. Many programs include family therapy sessions and random drug testing. The goal is to help you build coping skills and a support network while you continue to live at home. If you have a job or family responsibilities, then a PHP schedule may offer the flexibility you need while still providing intensive support. It is also important to ask whether the program offers telehealth options, as 18 of the listed PHP facilities in Fort Lauderdale do.

Paying for PHP care in Fort Lauderdale
PHP in Fort Lauderdale may be paid for through private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, or your own funds. According to 2026 SAMHSA listings, 26 of the 34 listed PHP facilities accept private insurance, 11 accept Medicaid, 4 accept Medicare, and 9 use a sliding fee scale. Florida has not expanded Medicaid, so eligibility is narrower than in expansion states; check whether you qualify. If you have private insurance, the federal parity law may require your plan to cover substance use and mental health services equal to medical treatment. The helpline can clarify your insurance benefits and help you find a Fort Lauderdale PHP that takes your plan. Nobody can promise coverage or admission, though advisors can tell you what to ask your insurer.
