Partial Hospitalization Program for Addiction in Colorado
If addiction has taken over more than you expected, we’re here to help you take back control. At Drift Behavioral Health, our PHP provides steady, compassionate care to help you stabilize and rebuild.
What Are Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a high-acuity outpatient option for people who need more support than traditional outpatient care but don’t require overnight stays. It’s a bridge between inpatient detox or residential programs and IOP or outpatient levels of care.
Our PHP includes:
- Daily clinical and medical support in a safe, structured setting
- In-person services in Colorado, with day and evening program options
- Same-day admission and telehealth availability
Our Approach to Addiction Treatment at Drift Behavioral Health
At Drift, we view addiction as a response to life’s pain, not a personal failure. Our care is rooted in understanding, not judgment. Every person’s story is different, so we build treatment plans that honor your experiences, strengths, and goals.
We use trauma-informed, harm-reduction, and whole-person care approaches. Many clients also face mental health challenges, so we conduct dual diagnosis assessments to support your healing on all levels.
