When someone needs help overcoming a substance use disorder, they have several choices for the level of care that is best for them. For those who don’t need inpatient care, attending sessions in an outpatient setting can give them the valuable help they need. Day Treatment, often called a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) allows a person to remain in the comfort of their home while receiving valuable, often life saving, behavioral health treatment services. Lake Avenue Recovery offers these life altering treatment services in Worcester, MA, with a goal to enable people to reach their full potential and live a life free from the suffering of substance misuse.

PHP takes place on an outpatient basis, which means participants travel to a facility several days a week to receive care. They do not have to move into the facility, as is required by residential programs. Our partial hospitalization program in Worcester, MA, can provide a continuation from the intensive treatment found in an inpatient program, and a great next step for addiction treatment.
PHP is also the recommended choice when a person recognizes their life is being adversely affected by alcohol and other drug use. PHP proves to be a vital service for those who need daily structure and therapy throughout the course of the week. Partial Hospitalization Programming is a crucial step in developing awareness and improving one’s health and wellness. Being under the care of therapists and qualified staff for several days a week creates a safe space for the person to learn how to combat urges to start drinking or using drugs again.
