A partial hospitalization program means you attend several hours of structured treatment most days but sleep at home or in sober living. In Florida, 117 facilities offer this level of care. A typical day includes group therapy, individual counseling, medication management and family work, often five days a week. Programs vary in hours and intensity, so ask directly when you call. Some centers run evening tracks or telehealth sessions.
Most PHP programs in Florida combine group therapy with medication management and family work. A day usually starts with a check-in, then moves into skill-building or relapse-prevention groups. You may see a psychiatrist for a medication review. Telehealth PHP lets you attend sessions from home if you live far from a clinic. Meals and breaks are built into the schedule. Ask how the program fits around work, school or caregiving before you commit.
PHP options across Florida
Of the 494 treatment facilities listed in Florida on SAMHSA FindTreatment.gov, 117 offer partial hospitalization. Payment options are not uniform. Of those 117 PHP programs, 108 accept private insurance, 44 accept Medicaid, 16 accept Medicare and 24 offer a sliding fee. Another 111 offer dual diagnosis care, and 46 provide services in Spanish.
Checking a Florida PHP center's listed payment options first saves hours of phone calls. If you pay through Medicaid, note that Florida has not adopted Medicaid expansion, so eligibility is narrower than in some states. The state Medicaid program can confirm whether you qualify before you call a rehab. Several rehab centers in Florida offer telehealth PHP, which matters if you live far from Orlando or another metro area. County health departments may also point toward low cost or sliding fee options.

What a Florida PHP is like
- 1
Intake and clinical assessment
Staff review your history, substance use and any mental health diagnoses before recommending a level of care. Expect questions about medications, insurance and your living situation, because those shape the treatment plan.
- 2
A daily treatment schedule
Most PHP schedules combine group therapy, individual sessions and medication management across several hours a day. Ask how many days a week the program meets and whether a telehealth track is available.
- 3
Ongoing monitoring and adjustment
Staff check progress and adjust the plan as you stabilize. If you have a co-occurring condition, psychiatric care is usually coordinated in the same program rather than through a separate clinic.
- 4
Step-down planning
The goal is to move to a lower level of care, such as intensive outpatient or standard outpatient rehab, when you no longer need daily structure. Ask what aftercare and follow-up the program provides.
Paying for PHP in Florida
Your cost depends on the program, your insurance plan, and the number of weeks you attend, so request a written estimate before you begin. Federal parity law means many insurance plans must cover behavioral health and addiction care at levels similar to medical care, but every plan sets its own networks and prior authorization rules. If you are uninsured ask about sliding-fee scales and whether the program accepts Medicaid. Our helpline is free and private, and a call commits you to nothing.
Who PHP fits in Florida
- People stepping down from medical detox or inpatient rehab who still need daily structure and clinical support.
- People with substance use alongside mental health needs who need therapy and medication managed together. Among the 117 PHP facilities, 111 provide dual diagnosis care.
- People who have a stable, supportive place to sleep and do not need 24-hour supervision.
- People transitioning out of a higher level of care who want a bridge to intensive outpatient services rather than stopping treatment altogether.
Common questions
What is a partial hospitalization program in Florida?
PHP is a structured day treatment level of care for substance use and for mental health needs that coexist with substance use, typically several hours each day with no overnight stay. Florida lists 494 facilities, and 117 of them offer PHP. Most combine group therapy, individual counseling, and medication management, and many work as a step-down after detox or inpatient care.
How long do partial hospitalization programs usually last?
Every program sets its own length, and no single number fits everyone. Often people attend for a few weeks, then step down to intensive outpatient or standard outpatient care as they stabilize. Ask the program how long its PHP track lasts and what progress looks like before a step-down, since insurance review often shapes the timeline.
Does Medicaid cover PHP in Florida?
Some programs do. Of the 117 Florida PHP facilities listed, 44 accept Medicaid. Florida has not adopted Medicaid expansion, so eligibility follows current state rules; the state Medicaid program can confirm whether you qualify before you call a treatment center. Sliding fee options also exist at 24 of these programs.
What part of Florida has the worst drug problem?
No single county holds that title, and the answer changes with the year and the substance. What matters more for your search is proximity to care: Florida lists 494 treatment facilities statewide, so most regions have options nearby. A treatment advisor can point you to programs within a reasonable drive of your home.
Do Florida PHP programs treat mental health needs alongside substance use?
Many do. Of the 117 PHP facilities in the state, 111 offer dual diagnosis care, meaning substance use and mental health treatment in the same program. If you take psychiatric medication, ask how prescribing and therapy are coordinated, and whether the same clinician follows you through the program.
How does PHP differ from inpatient rehab in Florida?
Inpatient and residential rehab provide 24-hour supervision and housing; 143 Florida facilities offer that level. PHP gives you a full day of treatment but you return home or to sober living at night. People often move from detox or inpatient into PHP, then into intensive outpatient care, which 193 facilities in the state provide.
