Day Treatment ยท Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our most intensive outpatient care.

Day Treatment at Renovia Behavioral Health gives you a full, structured day of care in Wilmington, NC, then sends you home to practice what you learned. It is built for people who need more than a weekly appointment but do not need to live in a facility.

Who it fits

Know whether PHP is the right level of care.

Use direct, non-alarming language. Explain what the program is for instead of asking people to diagnose themselves.

01

You need more than weekly therapy

Symptoms, substance use or recovery challenges are making everyday life harder and you need a more structured level of support.

02

You are ready for a consistent routine

You can participate in scheduled treatment, groups and individual clinical work while building skills between sessions.

03

You want a step between levels of care

PHP can provide intensive support while helping you build a sustainable plan for the next stage of recovery.

What makes us different

Day Treatment that treats you like a person, not a case number

We will be honest about what we recommend. We will respect your choice. And we will stay with you if your plan needs to change.

01

Your whole team reviews your plan every week

Not just your therapist. Our clinical team meet every week about each client, so you get the benefit of our multidisciplinary experience.

02

Small by design

Smaller groups mean more personal attention. You are placed in the group that helps you most, not the one with an open seat.

03

Straight answers about your care

We will tell you what we recommend and why. If your needs change, your plan changes with you.

04

Substance use and mental health together

If anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress is part of the picture, it is part of your care from day one.
05

A safe place to live, if you need one

If home is not a good place to recover right now, Renovia Sober Living offers structured, substance-free housing with free transportation to therapy at Renovia Behavioral Health.

06

You will be fed

Depending on what time you have your scheduled therapy, Breakfast and lunch are provided, with coffee and snacks out all day. You cannot do the hard work if you are not fueled.

You are not the only one

Come as you are. You are not alone.

Choosing Day Treatment is not a sign that something is wrong with you. It is one of the most common ways people get serious, structured help while staying connected to home.

1.6 million

People in the United States were in substance use treatment on a single day.

26,000+

of them were in day treatment or partial hospitalization that same day.

3 in 4

adults who have ever had a drug or alcohol problem say they are in recovery or have recovered.

National figures from SAMHSA’s National Substance Use and Mental Health Services Survey (2022) and National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2024). These are not Renovia Behavioral Health results.

On any given day, you would not be the first person to walk through the door, and you would not be alone in the room.

Does PHP work

What the research says about Day Treatment

Day Treatment has been studied for decades. Here is what the research shows, in plain language.

Strong results without moving into a facility.

In a randomized study comparing day treatment with residential treatment, more than half of the people followed reported no alcohol or drug use in the past 30 days at both 6 and 12 months. Results were similar for both groups.

Extra help when mental health is part of the picture.

In a large health plan study, people with moderate mental health symptoms did better in day treatment than in standard outpatient care, especially in staying away from alcohol.

Showing up matters.

In the same randomized study, more days in treatment were linked with staying sober. Structure works best when you use it.

These are national research findings, not Renovia Behavioral Health results.

If you have tried before

If treatment did not stick last time, you are not a lost cause

Many people who come to us have been through treatment before. Some went more than once. If that is you, here is what the research says.

No one says blood pressure treatment failed when symptoms come back. The plan gets adjusted. Recovery works the same way. Trying again is not starting over. It is starting with more information.

2

Serious attempts it takes most people to resolve a drug or alcohol problem

That is the median from a national study of people in recovery.

40 to 60%

Relapse rates for substance use disorders

About the same as high blood pressure and asthma.

What we do with that information

A common reason treatment does not stick is that people get lost in the crowd. Renovia Behavioral Health is built the other way on purpose.

Why it can be different here

A common reason treatment does not stick is simple. People get lost in the crowd. Large groups, packed caseloads, and staff stretched too thin leave little room for real connection.

Renovia Behavioral Health is built the other way on purpose.

Coming back is not failing. It is refusing to quit on yourself. This time, you will be known.

Small groups

We keep groups small so there is time for you to talk, be heard, and get real feedback.

Small caseloads

We keep caseloads small, not the thirty to one hundred plus common elsewhere. Your clinicians know you by name, not by a number.

A team that is not burned out

Small caseloads protect our staff too. You cannot expect personal, supportive therapy from people who are overworked and stressed out.

Time to notice

When your team is not spread thin, they notice when something shifts and can adjust your plan before small problems become big ones.

The clinical model

Care built around the whole person.

Explain the actual clinical approach in plain language. Avoid vague claims such as โ€œwe change your life.โ€

01

Assessment

Understand current needs, risks, goals and the right level of support.

02

Evidence-informed treatment

Use the modalities and interventions offered by the clinical team, clearly named and explained.

03

Skills in real life

Practice coping, communication, recovery and relapse-prevention skillsโ€”not just discuss them.

04

Step-down planning

Build the next stage of care before PHP ends, including outpatient, IOP, community and support options.

Can you work or study?

PHP requires meaningful participation during scheduled treatment hours. Some people may be able to work or study outside the program schedule, depending on their treatment plan, schedule and clinical needs.

Cost & insurance

Make the money questions easier to ask.

Use this area as a teaser and direct people to a real benefits-verification process. Do not publish invented prices or coverage promises.

Program cost

Letโ€™s talk through it.

Pricing depends on the program, length of care and individual circumstances.

Insurance

We can verify benefits.

Coverage, deductibles, authorization and out-of-pocket responsibility vary by plan.

Sober living

Need a stable place to live while you recover?

Provide a concise explanation of available sober-living options, eligibility, expectations and how housing connects with treatment. Keep this separate from the main clinical promise.
