Day Treatment offers intensive treatment for those struggling with addiction and co-occurring disorders. Also referred to as Partial Hospitalization*, these programs provide a comprehensive approach.
In partial hospitalization programs, patients receive a high level of outpatient care while maintaining the ability to live at home or in an optional sober living environment for an additional cost. This treatment model bridges the gap between inpatient care and the return to a home environment, focusing on providing continuous support throughout the recovery journey.
A day treatment program, or PHP, is a type of addiction treatment program. It provides intensive care while allowing patients to return home at the end of the day. Day treatment includes a structured schedule of therapies. This includes individual counseling, group therapy, and medical supervision.Â
PHP is ideal for individuals who need more support than intensive outpatient services offer but do not need 24-hour inpatient care. Advantages include flexibility, comprehensive treatment, and the chance to apply new skills in a real-world setting. These all contribute to long-term recovery.
Some of the key goals of a partial hospitalization program include:
Creating a solid support system
Building and healing family dynamics and interpersonal skills
Replacing unhealthy habits with positive coping skills
Learning and understanding the beliefs and nature of addiction
East Coast Recovery Center is proud to offer addiction and mental health treatment in Cohasset, Massachusetts, through our top-rated partial hospitalization program, also known as day treatment. This is the perfect treatment option for individuals with substance use disorders who need help transitioning back into daily life while still receiving high-quality healthcare.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, personalized treatment plans improve patient retention and recovery success rates (NIDA). Our PHP is designed to offer individualized care that addresses each patient’s unique needs. Our approach combines evidence-based therapies with holistic treatments to ensure a well-rounded recovery experience.
We emphasize a supportive community environment and offer specialized programs for dual diagnosis treatment. Our goal is to provide the highest quality care in a compassionate and understanding setting.
At East Coast Recovery, we tailor each plan to meet the specific needs of our patients. Clients are assigned a dedicated case manager who understands their unique needs and goals. They are also assigned a clinician, supervising LICSW, and pyschiatric nurse practioner.
The case managers manage the needs of the clients, such as applying for FMLA, short-term disability, applying for benefits, discharge planning, and appointment setting. The clinicians and group facilitators specialize in unique treatment methods, including but not limited to:
Additionally, clients will feel supported throughout their recovery process by every staff member at East Coast Recovery. This includes drivers, admissions agents, and more. Research shows that individualized care can improve outcomes significantly.
Clients who complete PHP can sign up for continued aftercare support that’s local to them. We’ll connect you with outpatient treatment facilities, therapists, psychiatrists, sober living homes, and other resources that still focus on your needs. Clients can also join our alumni program and stay updated with reunions, community events, sober outings, and monthly alumni meetings. Additionally, there are proactive follow-ups from our alumni coordinator to ensure clients are engaged and staying on track in their recovery.
Our PHP at East Coast Recovery provides full-time addiction treatment at a higher level of care than outpatient treatment. It is structured but allows clients to take on outside responsibilities. Clients in PHP are assigned a compassionate and informed clinician who creates an engaging treatment plan. This plan is filled with evidence-based therapies, holistic healing modalities, and ways to integrate into the community through meetings, outings, and additional support such as sponsorship.
PHP at our Cohasset treatment center typically lasts three to six weeks, usually followed by a less intensive outpatient program (IOP). However, each client’s time in treatment is different, and some find success and transition into another program sooner. We never establish a standard timeline everyone needs to follow, nor do we force them into a program that doesn’t meet their short and long-term goals.
PHP offers the highest level of care and structure after residential treatment. Each clinical day is filled with beneficial and engaging activities. A typical morning might include individual therapy, breathwork classes, gender-specific yoga groups, intro to 12-step meetings, and listening to guest speakers. Afternoons might include drumming circles, therapeutic art sessions, sound therapy, DBT skills groups, and group therapy (clinical process groups and primary groups).
Patients participate in both individual and group therapy sessions, allowing for personalized attention and peer support. These sessions address underlying issues, teach coping strategies, and provide a platform for sharing experiences and building connections. The program also incorporates family therapy, support groups, and bi-weekly family support meetings to involve loved ones in the recovery process.
Our PHP offers numerous benefits, including:
Clients are not required to stay overnight during PHP. This allows them to practice the skills and exercises they learned during the day at home with family, friends, and loved ones. For those who require additional structure and support, we provide connections to vetted, professionally managed sober living houses. We also provide transportation to and from treatment.
We want our clients to feel ready and supported at every step of their recovery journey. PHP serves as a smooth transition between intensive treatment and returning home. Research shows that transitioning between different levels of care leads to higher success rates and lower relapse rates compared to completing only one program.
East Coast Recovery Center intentionally places clients in treatment programs with careful thought and planning. We analyze and customize every aspect to treat unique challenges. Our holistic approach addresses the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction, ensuring comprehensive care.
Some providers in Massachusetts might hear the name of the substance a client’s using or how long they’ve been using and force them into a treatment modality that doesn’t work. You are more than an addiction, and the real path to wellness relies on pure, personal, and unbiased human connection and care.

Clients typically attend PHP (full-day program) for six hours daily, consisting of five hours of clinical service with a lunch hour.
Unlike a PHP, inpatient treatment requires clients to stay overnight at the facility and provides 24/7 monitoring.
Under the Affordable Care Act, addiction treatment is considered a medical necessity. It is required to be at least partially covered by all major insurance companies.
