Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in New Jersey
Intensive Day Treatment. Home Every Evening.
When weekly outpatient treatment is not enough, but you do not need 24-hour residential care, Partial Care may provide the right level of structure. Renova Recovery offers approximately five to six hours of clinical programming, five days a week, while allowing clients to return home or to a supportive living environment each evening.

PHP In 30 seconds
Renova Recovery's Partial Hospitalization Program in Brick, New Jersey provides approximately five to six hours of clinical programming per day, five days per week, Monday through Friday, while clients return home or to a supportive living environment each evening. New Jersey licenses this level of care as Partial Care; insurance carriers, discharge planners and referring clinicians generally call it PHP. It is the highest level of outpatient treatment Renova provides.
- Who it fits: Adults who are medically stable and no longer need withdrawal management, but need daily clinical structure — often people stepping down from detox or residential treatment, or people for whom weekly outpatient counseling has not held.
- Living situation: Clients live at home or in a sober living residence. Renova does not provide housing, and can coordinate sober living referrals in Ocean County.
- Therapy: Individual counseling is built into every treatment plan alongside daily group therapy, using CBT, DBT skills, motivational interviewing and trauma-informed approaches.
- Co-occurring conditions: Anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, grief and mood instability are treated within the same PHP care plan as the substance use.
- Medication: Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is coordinated with a prescribing medical provider when clinically appropriate. Options and eligibility are determined by the prescriber.
- Work: PHP is a full treatment day, so most clients adjust their work schedule. Renova's IOP runs three to five days per week with morning, afternoon and evening options for adults who cannot.
- Accreditation and insurance: Joint Commission accredited. Works with most commercial plans, primarily on an out-of-network basis, with benefits verified before admission.
- Location: 35 Beaverson Blvd, Building 6A, Brick Township, NJ 08723, serving Brick, Toms River, Lakewood, Point Pleasant and communities throughout Ocean County.
Renova Recovery does not provide medical detoxification, residential treatment or 24-hour supervision. When medical detox is needed first, our team can coordinate placement with an affiliated detox provider before a client transitions into PHP.
Same-day assessments are available. Call (908) 533-9808.
Recovery Looks Different for Everyone
No two people arrive at treatment for the same reason.
Some are leaving detox or residential treatment and want to keep building on progress they have already made.
Others have tried outpatient counseling and are still struggling with cravings, relapse, stress, or mental health symptoms that never quite get addressed.
Many simply know they need more support but are not willing to walk away from their family, their job, or their life to get it.
Partial Hospitalization is built for that gap. It is the highest level of outpatient addiction treatment available, and it lets you practice recovery in your actual life, with an experienced clinical team behind you every day.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
Renova Recovery is licensed in New Jersey to provide Partial Care, an intensive outpatient level of treatment commonly referred to as a Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP.
PHP provides significantly more structure than weekly counseling or an Intensive Outpatient Program. It is often the right fit for people in early recovery, people stepping down from a higher level of care, and people at elevated risk of relapse who need consistent therapeutic contact throughout the week.
If you see PHP referenced by an insurance carrier, a discharge planner, or a referring clinician, it means this same level of care. New Jersey licenses it as Partial Care.
At Renova Recovery, treatment is never one size fits all. Every client starts with a comprehensive clinical assessment so your treatment plan reflects your recovery goals, your substance use history, your mental health needs, and the support system you already have.
01
Transitioning from Residential Treatment
Adults who have recently completed inpatient rehabilitation or medical detox and need structured therapeutic guidance while adjusting to independent living. PHP reinforces recovery skills, helps prevent relapse, and supports a smooth transition into lower-intensity outpatient care.
02
Experiencing Early Recovery Challenges
Clients who find it difficult to maintain emotional stability, sobriety, or daily routines in a traditional outpatient setting, and who benefit from consistent clinical supervision, daily therapeutic engagement, and accountability.
03
Adults managing both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition - including anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, or mood instability, who need coordinated care that integrates psychiatric treatment, therapy, and behavioral support.
04
Living in a Supportive Environment
Clients in a stable, recovery-focused home or sober living environment that promotes accountability, healthy habits, and consistent encouragement, allowing them to reinforce treatment progress outside structured program hours.
05
Adults who need intensive daytime treatment but can safely return home or to a supportive living environment each evening.
06
Partners pursuing recovery together who benefit from coordinated treatment planning, communication-building, and emotional support woven into PHP programming, strengthening mutual accountability and long-term stability
Every admission begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation to confirm PHP aligns with each client's medical, emotional, and lifestyle needs.
Not Sure PHP Is the Right Level of Care?
PHP is designed for adults who need intensive daily therapy and medical monitoring while living independently, it's not appropriate for someone who needs medical detox or round-the-clock supervision. But that shouldn't stop you from calling. Our admissions team can help determine whether you or a loved one may need:
- Medical detox, we can place you with our affiliated detox provider before transitioning into PHP
- Residential or inpatient treatment
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) / Partial Care
- Intensive Outpatient treatment (IOP)
- Standard Outpatient treatment
- Recovery-focused or sober living housing
If PHP isn't the right starting point, we'll explain why and help coordinate a referral to an appropriate provider based on clinical needs, insurance, and availability.
Who Is PHP For?
PHP may be a fit for adults who are medically stable and no longer need withdrawal management, but who need substantial structure, accountability, and daily clinical support to hold onto their recovery.
Why Families Choose Renova Recovery
Choosing a treatment program is not really about picking a facility. It is about trusting the people who will be sitting in the room with you.
Small Groups That Put People First
Our group sizes are intentionally small so every client can participate, build real connections, and get direct attention from their clinician. You will not be a face in a crowd here.
Joint Commission Accredited
Renova Recovery has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval, which reflects compliance with nationally recognized standards for quality of care and patient safety. Not every outpatient program in New Jersey carries it.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Coordination
When medication is clinically appropriate as part of treatment, we coordinate directly with a prescribing medical provider so your clinical care and your medical care stay connected. Options, eligibility, and appointment logistics are determined individually by the prescriber.
Recovery Beyond the Therapy Room
Successful recovery involves more than showing up to group. Our team works with you throughout treatment on continued care planning, community resources, housing, and what happens after PHP ends.
Small by Design, Local by Choice
Renova Recovery is an independent outpatient program in Brick Township. We are not a national chain running a location here. Ocean County is where we are and who we serve.
What to Expect in Our PHP (Partial Care) Program
Treatment in Renova Recovery's Partial Hospitalization Program - licensed in New Jersey as Partial Care - is personalized according to each client's substance use, mental health needs, recovery goals, and current level of stability. Programming may include:
Individual Counseling
Clients meet individually with a counselor to address substance-use patterns, emotional triggers, trauma, relationships, and personal recovery goals. Individual therapy allows treatment to focus on the specific challenges affecting each client's progress.
Group Therapy
Structured group therapy helps clients build accountability, improve communication, practice healthier coping skills, and receive support from others in recovery. Groups address both the emotional and practical challenges of maintaining sobriety.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, commonly known as CBT, helps clients identify unhealthy thought patterns and behaviors connected to substance use. Clients learn more effective ways to respond to cravings, triggers, stress, and difficult emotions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills
DBT-informed treatment helps clients strengthen emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills. These tools can be especially helpful when intense emotions or relationship difficulties contribute to substance use.
Relapse-Prevention Planning
Clients learn to recognize triggers, identify early warning signs, manage cravings, and create practical strategies for maintaining recovery. Each client works toward developing a realistic relapse-prevention and continued-care plan.
Psychoeducation
Educational sessions help clients better understand addiction, mental health, relapse, relationships, stress, sleep, wellness, and the recovery process. Greater understanding can help clients make informed choices and develop healthier daily habits.
Support for Co-Occurring Conditions
When substance use and mental health concerns occur together, treatment should address both. Care may include support for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, grief, mood instability, and other co-occurring conditions.
Medication-Assisted Treatment and Medication Support
When clinically appropriate, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) or other medication support may be incorporated into an individualized treatment plan. Medication is used alongside counseling, behavioral therapy, and continued clinical support.
Case Management and Care Coordination
Case management helps clients address the practical needs that can affect treatment and long-term recovery. Our team provides ongoing care coordination, helps connect clients with appropriate resources, supports transitions between levels of care, and works to reduce barriers that may interfere with progress.
Family Support When Appropriate
When clinically appropriate and agreed upon by the client, family involvement may help improve communication, rebuild trust, establish healthy boundaries, and strengthen the support available outside treatment.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment in PHP
Substance use and mental health challenges usually show up together.
Anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, and mood instability all affect recovery, and leaving them untreated is one of the most common reasons people relapse after otherwise solid treatment.
Renova Recovery integrates co-occurring mental health treatment into each client's PHP care plan. We work on coping skills and stability while also addressing what is underneath the substance use, because separating the two rarely holds up in real life.
Case Management and Recovery Planning
Recovery does not stop at the end of the therapy hour.
Throughout treatment, our team helps coordinate:
- Continued care and step down planning
- Community and recovery support resources
- Medication provider coordination
- Sober living referrals when appropriate
- Family communication when appropriate
- Discharge planning
Planning starts early, not the week you graduate, so you leave with actual next steps.
The Renova Recovery Alumni Program
Finishing PHP is a real accomplishment. It is also the point where a lot of people lose their footing, because the structure disappears all at once.
Clients who complete treatment at Renova Recovery stay connected through our Alumni Program at no cost. That includes follow up calls from our team, email check ins after discharge, and connection to community recovery resources and peer support.
How PHP Differs From IOP
Adults seeking outpatient treatment often choose between PHP (Partial Care) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Both provide structured clinical care without requiring clients to live at the facility, but they differ in schedule, intensity, and flexibility.
| Feature | PHP / Partial Care | Intensive Outpatient Program |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule | Approximately 5 to 6 hours per day, 5 days per week | Approximately 3 hours per day, 3 to 5 days per week |
| Treatment intensity | Renova's highest level of outpatient care | Structured care with fewer weekly hours |
| Best suited for | Early recovery, transition from detox or residential care, or greater support needs | Clients with greater stability who still need regular support |
| Flexibility | Less flexibility due to longer treatment days | Greater flexibility for work, school, and family |
For a full side-by-side comparison of PHP, IOP, and outpatient treatment, including insurance coverage, medical oversight, and how the right level of care is determined, see our complete guide:
Renova Recovery works with many commercial insurance plans, primarily on an out of network basis. Out of network often means more flexibility in treatment planning and length of stay, and our admissions team will explain what that means for your specific policy.
Coverage depends on your plan, network benefits, deductible, coinsurance, medical necessity, and authorization requirements. We verify your benefits before treatment begins and walk you through what you are responsible for, so you know where you stand before your first day. Verification of benefits is not a guarantee of coverage or payment.
We regularly coordinate with carriers including:
Aetna
Blue Cross Blue Shield
Cigna

FAQs
How long does PHP last?
Length of treatment depends on your clinical needs, your progress, your treatment goals, and insurance authorization. Your plan is reviewed regularly throughout your stay rather than set to a fixed number of weeks.
Where do I live during the PHP program?
At home, or in a sober living residence. PHP is an outpatient program, so Renova Recovery does not provide housing. You attend treatment during the day and return to your own living situation each evening, which is part of what makes PHP effective. You practice recovery in the environment you actually live in.
A stable, supportive place to stay is part of what makes PHP appropriate for someone. If your current living situation is not safe or supportive, tell us during your assessment. We can help coordinate sober living referrals in the Ocean County area so housing is not the reason you go without treatment.
Can I work while attending PHP?
PHP is a full day program, so most clients adjust their work schedule during treatment. If a full day schedule is not workable for you, our IOP runs three to five days a week with morning, afternoon, and evening options. Our admissions team can help you figure out which fits.
Will I have individual counseling?
Yes. Individual counseling is built into your treatment plan based on your clinical needs and goals.
What is the difference between PHP and Partial Care?
Renova Recovery is licensed in New Jersey to provide Partial Care. This intensive outpatient level of treatment is commonly called a Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP, by treatment providers, referral sources and insurance carriers.
Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) available?
When medication is clinically appropriate, we coordinate care with a prescribing medical provider. Options and eligibility are determined individually by the prescriber.
Does insurance cover PHP?
Many commercial plans include behavioral health benefits, though coverage varies by policy and network status. Our admissions team can verify your benefits before treatment begins. Call (908) 533-9808.
Do you treat co-occurring mental health conditions?
What happens after PHP?
Most clients step down into Renova Recovery's Intensive Outpatient Program, then to standard outpatient services, and stay connected through our Alumni Program.
