Structured daytime addiction treatment and mental health support in Lexington, Kentucky.
Lexington Addiction Center’s partial hospitalization program provides intensive therapeutic support while allowing clients to return to an appropriate living environment after programming. Treatment plans may include individual and group counseling, relapse-prevention skills, and coordinated care for co-occurring mental health needs.
At Lexington Addiction Center, PHP is designed for adults who need more structure than intensive outpatient care but do not require 24-hour residential supervision. Admissions can review eligibility, program hours, and whether this level of care matches your needs.
PHP may be appropriate for people who need a high level of clinical support without overnight residential treatment, when an assessment determines that outpatient care is safe.
Clients may return home or to an appropriate living arrangement after programming. Some people enter PHP after residential treatment or medical detox, while others begin at this level following assessment. Available services and medication arrangements should be confirmed during admissions.
PHP provides intensive daytime programming on a structured schedule. The exact days, hours, therapies, and level of support should be confirmed with admissions based on current programming and individual treatment needs.
