Our addiction partial hospitalization program (PHP) delivers full-day, structured treatment for drug and alcohol addiction — with the option to live at our substance-free Outpatient Residence while you build your recovery. Call us today to take the first step.
A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, is the most intensive level of outpatient addiction care. You attend structured treatment at The Ranch Pennsylvania Outpatient Center during the day, five days a week, then return to a supportive, substance-free living environment in the evening. PHP bridges the gap between residential treatment and traditional outpatient care, offering hospital-level structure without hospital-level confinement.
Our addiction PHP treats alcohol and drug use disorders, including co-occurring mental health conditions through integrated dual diagnosis care. Many clients step down to PHP after completing detox or residential care at The Ranch Pennsylvania; others begin here when they need daily support but not 24-hour medical supervision. Clients who need housing can stay at our Outpatient Residence, a 16-bed, substance-free home in Lancaster with 24/7 support staff and transportation to and from programming.

Answers to the most common questions about our partial hospitalization program for drug and alcohol addiction.
Our addiction PHP supports adults with alcohol use disorder and drug addiction, including opioid, fentanyl, heroin, benzodiazepine, cocaine, methamphetamine and prescription drug misuse. If you are also living with depression, anxiety, PTSD or another mental health condition, we treat both together through integrated dual diagnosis care.
Length of stay depends on your needs, progress and insurance coverage. Most clients complete PHP in approximately 8–12 weeks, and many step down to our addiction intensive outpatient program afterward.
No. Housing at The Ranch Pennsylvania Outpatient Residence is available for PHP clients who need a stable, substance-free place to live during treatment, and we provide transportation between the Residence and the Outpatient Center.

If you are physically dependent on alcohol, opioids or benzodiazepines, withdrawal can be dangerous, and medically supervised detox usually comes first.
