Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) sit between inpatient and outpatient care, typically involving several hours of treatment per day.

The right level of care depends on factors like the substances involved, the length of use, and your overall health. Speaking with a clinician or calling a helpline before choosing a program can help you identify what level of support is appropriate.

Finding care in a smaller community can take more effort when local listings are sparse. A few practical steps can help. First, call SAMHSA's National Helpline at 1-800-662-4357 - it's free, available at any hour, and can point you toward programs that accept your insurance or offer sliding-scale fees. Second, contact the nearby centers directly to ask about transportation assistance, telehealth intake appointments, or waitlist timelines. Third, check with your primary care provider or local hospital, as they may have referrals to programs not yet listed in directories like this one.
