(PHP)
Simple Path Recovery’s Florida PHP program in Pompano Beach offers adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction full-day clinical addiction treatment five days per week.

South Florida Partial Hospitalization Program for Addiction
Our partial hospitalization program Florida residents trust is the highest level of outpatient care, just below residential. Patients attend 25 to 30 hours of treatment across five to six days a week, returning home or to sober living each evening. Program length averages two to four weeks, with timelines based on progress, mental health, home environment, and family commitments. Many enter our PHP program after residential treatment or as a step up from intensive outpatient.
Most major commercial insurance is accepted as an in-network provider for partial hospitalization, with private pay and payment options available off-plan. Verifying your insurance benefits takes about two minutes. Our admissions team gives an honest read on whether PHP is the right level of care, and tells you if residential treatment or outpatient treatment is a better fit. What you pay depends on your insurance policy. The services offered match each patient.
What to Expect in a Florida PHP
Partial hospitalization programs give clients comprehensive clinical care while still returning home each night. Here’s what a week in our partial hospitalization program (PHP) looks like for patients balancing treatment.

Individual Therapy in PHP
Individual therapy is the most personal part of our partial hospitalization program (PHP). One to two times a week, you sit one-on-one with your primary therapist for an honest conversation about what’s driving the substance use and what it’ll take to change.
These sessions are where the truth of addiction often surfaces. Clients can name and unpack their alcohol or drug use, the fears about family members or losing a job, and the parts that feel hardest to say out loud. Our Pompano Beach treatment center therapists protect that space so the real conversation can happen, without judgment or rushed timelines.
Whatever sits underneath the substance abuse, this is where we bring it into the open and build a path toward a productive life free of addiction.
Group Therapy in Florida PHP
Group therapy is the core of our partial hospitalization program (PHP). Clients spend several hours each day in group sessions led by licensed therapists, working through relapse prevention, trauma, coping skills, and staying sober.
Topics shift week to week based on what the group needs. Some sessions stay structured around a theme. Others stay open, letting clients work through whatever surfaces with peer support. Either way, group therapy is a working room, not a lecture.
By listening to another client name something you’ve never said out loud, you start to see the pieces of your own story differently. Clients feel less alone in this work, and that shift is often the first real step out of the isolation that comes with active addiction.

Start Getting Help With Simple Path
At Simple Path Recovery, we believe the hardest part of recovery is the first decision. Recognizing that substance abuse has been taking more than it gives back, and reaching out for help, takes more courage than most people give themselves credit for. If you’re reading this, you’ve already done the hardest part.
The first step is to be honest with yourself, then with someone who can actually help. Asking is a sign of strength, not weakness.
From there, we meet you where you are, build a treatment program around your situation, and connect you with a clinical team focused on your mental health and recovery journey. Several factors shape the right level of care. Simple Path is licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

Frequently Asked Questions About Partial Hospitalization Treatment
Common questions about reaching out and starting treatment.
How long does an PHP in Florida last?
Most patients are in our PHP for about four to six weeks, though timelines run from 30 to 180 days depending on progress, severity of substance use, the home environment, and aftercare planning. Several factors shape the right length, and we don’t keep anyone at a higher level of care than they need for long term recovery.
Will my insurance cover PHP at Simple Path Recovery?
We accept most major commercial insurance plans as an out-of-network provider. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the Affordable Care Act require insurers to cover substance use treatment, so most policies cover PHP at some level.
What you actually pay depends on your specific insurance policy: deductible, out-of-network benefits, copays, and any limits on the number of treatment days. We also offer self-pay and other payment options for those who prefer not to use insurance. Verifying your insurance benefits takes about two minutes by phone.
How is PHP different from IOP and inpatient care?
Residential treatment is 24-hour care where patients live at the facility. PHP is daytime treatment five days a week with evenings at home. IOP runs 9 to 15 hours a week across three to five days, designed for adults who don’t need that level of structure but still benefit from regular clinical and behavioral health support. Many clients step down from PHP into IOP as part of their recovery journey, since IOP keeps the therapy work going while you re-engage with work, school, family, and a loved one you’ve been worried about.
What therapies are used in your PHP program?
Intensive outpatient programs at Simple Path blend group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, and specialty groups. Core behavioral therapy modalities are CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy, with EMDR available for trauma. We build in education on relapse prevention, coping skills, self awareness, and ongoing recovery resources. Our team coordinates medication management when appropriate. The services offered match what each patient is working on, with families included where it supports successful recovery.
