Torrance

Partial hospitalization programs (PHP), also called partial day programs, are the most intensive level of outpatient care. At Peninsula Health, this means that clients in our partial hospitalization programs will get the same level of therapy and other treatments offered at a residential Torrance drug and alcohol rehab center, but with the ability to live off-site while they receive care. Unlike our intensive outpatient and outpatient programs, clients in PHP may participate in individual or group therapy sessions five days a week or more. Depending on client needs, someone in PHP may go to treatment somewhere from 4-8 hours per day.

Intensive outpatient (IOP) is a step below partial hospitalization programs, meaning that the time commitment and level of support is slightly lower. Clients in an intensive outpatient program usually attend care for roughly twelve hours per week (spread across multiple days throughout the week), though the exact number of hours spent in treatment each week may vary based on a client’s needs. 

An intensive outpatient program may be the right fit if you or your loved one seeking care has a mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, minimal mental health concerns, and a safe, supportive home environment.

Outpatient programs offer more flexibility and provide a lower level of support than an intensive outpatient program. An outpatient program is ideal for clients seeking a Torrance alcohol rehab center or Torrance drug rehab center who need a lower level of support and more time at home for whatever reason (e.g., taking care of one’s family, working while in treatment, or stepping down from a higher level of care and transitioning back into daily life). While outpatient care requires a lower time commitment per week, outpatient programs can last for longer, often ranging from 3-6 months. 

The structure of our outpatient programs lets clients stay involved in their day-to-day life while participating in therapy on a predetermined schedule. Typically, this will mean that you or your loved one attends care 3-5 days per week for a set number of hours per day based on your or their specific treatment needs. 

After treatment at a Torrance drug and alcohol rehab center, it is imperative that you or your loved one has continued support. Our clients get help with aftercare planning in treatment to ensure that they have the services they need in their area once they exit their treatment program. Aftercare planning looks different for every client and may include different elements based on a person’s needs and other factors. Most often, aftercare programs involve ongoing therapy, psychiatric care, participation in community-based support groups (such as AA or NA), and sober living options. 

Continued care or aftercare aids relapse prevention and keeps individuals involved in a supportive community after their treatment program ends, helping them navigate day-to-day life with resilience and strength.
