Partial Hospitalization Program in Colorado | Acqua Recovery
At Acqua Recovery, we’re proud to offer our intensive Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Colorado, providing comprehensive addiction treatment with the flexibility to return home each evening. Our trauma-informed PHP delivers clinical excellence in a supportive environment, helping you build a foundation for lasting recovery.
What is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Acqua Recovery represents the most intensive outpatient treatment option in our Colorado addiction recovery services. This structured program delivers comprehensive care comparable to residential treatment while offering the flexibility to return to your home environment each evening.
Our Colorado PHP operates Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM to 3:00 PM, providing a full day of therapeutic intervention with a midday lunch break. Throughout each day, clients participate in a robust schedule of:
- Individual therapy sessions for personalized recovery work
- Process-oriented group therapy for peer support and connection
- Specialized trauma treatment addressing underlying causes of addiction
- Evidence-based modalities tailored to individual needs
This level of care is particularly beneficial for individuals in early recovery who require substantial clinical support but can safely function without overnight supervision. Many clients enter our Partial Hospitalization Program in Colorado as they step down from residential treatment, while others begin their recovery journey here when they need more structure than traditional outpatient care can provide.
Our daily schedule is thoughtfully designed to balance intensive therapeutic work with personal time, allowing clients to practice recovery skills in real-world settings each evening and weekend. This integration of clinical care and daily life creates an ideal environment for building sustainable recovery practices.

Benefits of PHP
Our Partial Hospitalization Program in Colorado offers unique advantages that make it an ideal choice for many individuals seeking addiction recovery:
Intensive Support with Real-World Application
PHP provides the clinical intensity of residential treatment while allowing you to return home each evening. This balance enables you to immediately apply recovery skills in your daily environment, strengthening your ability to maintain sobriety in real-world situations.
Comprehensive Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Our Colorado PHP addresses both substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions through integrated treatment. This comprehensive approach ensures underlying mental health issues don’t go untreated, reducing the risk of relapse and promoting lasting recovery.
Family and Community Connection
Unlike residential treatment, PHP allows you to maintain important relationships and responsibilities. You can continue caring for family members, attending to work obligations when appropriate, and staying connected to your support network throughout treatment.
Seamless Treatment Transitions
Our PHP serves as an excellent bridge in your recovery journey. Whether stepping down from residential treatment or stepping up from traditional outpatient care, PHP provides the perfect level of support during critical transitions in recovery.
Flexible Scheduling for Life Balance
The Monday-Friday schedule allows weekends for family time, self-care, and practicing independence while maintaining the structure needed for successful recovery. This flexibility helps you rebuild a balanced, healthy lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of our Partial Hospitalization Program in Colorado varies based on individual needs and progress. Most clients participate in PHP for 2-4 weeks, though some may benefit from longer treatment depending on their specific circumstances, severity of addiction, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Our clinical team regularly assesses your progress to determine the optimal treatment timeline.
PHP provides a higher level of care than IOP, offering full-day treatment Monday through Friday (9:30 AM – 3:00 PM) compared to IOP’s part-time schedule of three days per week for 3 hours each session. PHP includes more individual therapy sessions, group therapy opportunities, and specialized treatments. Many clients transition from PHP to IOP as they progress in their recovery journey.
Due to the full-day Monday-Friday schedule, most clients cannot maintain full-time employment during PHP. However, some may be able to work part-time evening or weekend hours depending on their job flexibility and recovery needs. Our admissions team can discuss work accommodations and help you explore options like Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) if applicable.
Upon completing PHP, most clients transition to our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to continue their recovery with less intensive support. Our clinical team develops a comprehensive aftercare plan that may include ongoing individual therapy, group sessions, alumni programming, and connection to community support resources. We also offer sober living referrals and continue to support your long-term recovery goals.
