Getting a diagnosis for both mental health and addiction challenges can be life-changing — but it’s only the beginning. True healing happens when you understand what’s happening inside you and get the right support to move forward.
At Archangel Centers, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) bridges the gap between diagnosis and lasting recovery. Through expert care, compassionate support, and structured therapy, we help you break free from the cycle of confusion, pain, and relapse — and build a future you feel hopeful about.
If you’re ready to begin, call us today at (888) 464-2144 to learn how PHP can help you heal from the inside out.
Why Getting the Right Diagnosis Matters
For many people, addiction and mental health struggles are deeply connected. You might turn to substances to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or bipolar symptoms — without even realizing it. Or, substance use might make underlying mental health conditions worse.
Without a proper diagnosis, treatment often misses the mark. That’s why at Archangel Centers, we start by getting a clear, complete picture of what’s going on through clinical assessments and psychiatric evaluations.
Understanding your diagnosis empowers you to:
- Name what you’re facing (no more guessing or blaming yourself)
- Learn why certain patterns have repeated
- Take the first real steps toward meaningful, lasting recovery
How PHP Supports True Healing After Diagnosis
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) are ideal for people with dual diagnosis because they provide daily intensive therapy and medical support — without the full-time stay of inpatient rehab. You spend the day at our center focusing on recovery, then return home or to a sober living environment at night.
Here’s how PHP helps you move from diagnosis to true healing:
1. Daily Structure Creates Stability
In early recovery, stability is critical. At Archangel Centers, each day follows a structured therapeutic schedule that gives you the consistency your mind and body need to heal, while still allowing space for self-discovery.
A typical day includes:
- Morning check-ins and goal setting
- Group therapy focused on mental health and addiction
- Individual therapy to dive into personal challenges
- Skills-building workshops (emotional regulation, stress management, coping strategies)
- Psychiatric care and medication management if needed
- End-of-day reflections and support planning
2. Integrated Treatment for Mental Health and Addiction
With dual diagnosis, you can’t treat one issue and ignore the other. At Archangel Centers, PHP is designed to treat both simultaneously.
Your customized care plan may include therapies such as:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shift negative thought patterns
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and self-soothing
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma healing
- Mindfulness-Based Therapy to anchor you in the present
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) to strengthen your commitment to recovery
By healing your mental health and addiction together, you’ll build a stronger, more lasting foundation.
3. Building Skills for Life After Treatment
PHP doesn’t just focus on surviving each day — it teaches you how to thrive long after you leave.
You’ll learn practical tools for:
- Managing cravings and emotional triggers
- Navigating relationships and boundaries
- Coping with anxiety, depression, and trauma
- Staying grounded during stressful life events
Recovery is about living life on your terms, not just staying sober.
