Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

How It Works & What to Expect

PHP is designed for people who need more support than a few hours of therapy per week, but don't need to live at a treatment facility. You attend programming 5 days a week for several hours each day, then return home in the evening. It's the closest thing to inpatient treatment without actually staying overnight.

What's Included in PHP

At Virtue Recovery Killeen, our PHP includes individual therapy, group sessions, medication management, and dual diagnosis treatment — all delivered by licensed clinicians. Each treatment plan is built around your specific needs, because no two people recover the same way.

  • Individual therapy with licensed clinicians
  • Group therapy and peer support sessions
  • Medication management and psychiatric care
  • Dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring conditions
  • Relapse prevention planning and coping skills

Recovery Without Putting Life on Hold

The structure of PHP helps you build a solid daily routine around recovery while still maintaining your home life, family connections, and — in many cases — your work schedule. It's also a more affordable option than residential treatment, and we work with most major insurance plans to keep costs manageable.

Recovery is possible. Our team is here to guide you every step of the way.

Evidence-Based Treatment

How We Treat. Not Just Where.

Our comprehensive clinical approach combines evidence-based therapies with holistic modalities, creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT)

Evidence-based approach that helps identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors driving addiction. CBT equips you with practical skills to manage triggers, cope with cravings, and build healthier responses to stress.

Trauma-Informed Care

Specialized treatment addressing underlying trauma that often fuels substance use disorders. Our trauma-informed approach recognizes that PTSD and addiction frequently co-occur, and uses evidence-based therapies like Seeking Safety, trauma-focused CBT, and mindfulness-based grounding techniques to help process traumatic experiences safely.

Group Therapy

Regular clinical groups building connection, accountability, and shared recovery. Group therapy provides a supportive community where you can learn from others' experiences, practice interpersonal skills, and develop the peer support network essential for long-term sobriety.

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians tailored to your specific needs. Individual therapy provides a confidential space to explore personal challenges, process emotions, work through past traumas, and develop a personalized strategy for sustained recovery.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and bipolar disorder. Our psychiatric team works alongside licensed chemical dependency counselors (LCDCs) and licensed professional counselors (LPCs) to address both conditions simultaneously, which has been shown to produce better outcomes and reduce relapse risk.

Relapse Prevention

Practical coping strategies, trigger identification, and sustainable planning for long-term recovery. Our relapse prevention programming helps you recognize warning signs, develop healthy responses to high-risk situations, and build a comprehensive plan for maintaining sobriety after treatment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy(DBT)

DBT focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness. Especially effective for individuals with intense emotions and co-occurring borderline personality disorder, DBT teaches practical skills to manage overwhelming feelings without turning to substances.

Equine Assisted Therapy

Therapeutic interaction with horses builds trust, emotional awareness, and communication skills. Killeen contracts with trained equine therapy instructors to provide experiential sessions that help clients develop confidence, self-regulation, and healthy relationship patterns outside the traditional clinical setting.

SMART Recovery

Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) is a science-based alternative to 12-step programs. SMART Recovery focuses on four key areas: building and maintaining motivation, coping with urges, managing thoughts and behaviors, and living a balanced life — empowering you to take control of your recovery.

Holistic Therapies

Our holistic therapy offerings include Sound Healing, Yoga, Music & Art Therapy, and Dog/Pet Therapy. These mind-body approaches complement clinical treatment by reducing stress, promoting emotional expression, improving physical wellness, and supporting whole-person healing throughout the recovery process.

Seeking Safety

Present-focused therapy designed for co-occurring trauma and substance use disorders. Seeking Safety teaches practical coping skills across cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal domains without requiring clients to revisit traumatic memories before they are ready, making it a safe entry point for trauma recovery.

Matrix Model

A structured outpatient treatment approach combining CBT, family education, 12-step facilitation, drug testing, and relapse prevention into an integrated framework. The Matrix Model provides a clear, organized structure that helps clients build self-esteem, restore dignity, and develop a drug- and alcohol-free lifestyle.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) FAQ

Common questions about our partial hospitalization program (php) at Virtue Recovery Killeen.

What is the difference between PHP and IOP?

PHP requires 5 days per week of full-day programming (5-6 hours per day), while IOP typically involves 3-5 days per week with 3-4 hour sessions. PHP is more intensive and appropriate for clients stepping down from residential treatment or those who need a higher level of structure.

Is PHP covered by insurance?

Yes, PHP is covered by most major health insurance plans, including TRICARE for military families near Fort Cavazos. PHP is often more affordable than residential treatment while providing comparable clinical intensity. Our admissions team at Virtue Recovery Killeen verifies your insurance benefits before treatment begins.
