About the PHP for Women
Details about the PHP for women at Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, CA
At Sierra by the Sea, we’re committed to ensuring that each woman who seeks our help receives the services that are right for her. One of the ways that we achieve this goal is by providing a full continuum of care, with multiple levels of treatment. Some women take part in treatment at several levels, while others may only spend time at one level of care.
Our gender-specific partial hospitalization program, or PHP, fits into our continuum of care between the residential and intensive outpatient program, or IOP, levels. Gender-specific PHP for women at Sierra by the Sea is a highly structured program that features full days of treatment five days per week. In the evenings and on weekends, women who take part in PHP at our facility in Newport Beach, California, can return to their homes or to an alternative supported residence.
Some women enter PHP at our addiction treatment facility in Newport Beach, California, after completing our residential program. For these women, PHP is a source of structured step-down support where they can retain a strong connection to our services while slowly beginning to resume elements of an independent lifestyle.
Other women enter treatment directly at the PHP level, or they step up from IOP or traditional outpatient services. For these women, PHP provides a safe, structured, and supportive environment where they can receive focused, personalized support. In general terms, entering treatment directly at the PHP level may be the right choice for women who need intensive services but whose needs are not severe enough to require round-the-clock care and supervision.
When a woman nears the end of her time in PHP at our addiction treatment facility in Newport Beach, California, her treatment team will work with her to determine the best next steps for her. Some women step down to our IOP, while others transition to traditional outpatient care or take part in community-based support groups. As with all aspects of our comprehensive services for adult women who have been experiencing addiction and certain mental health concerns, all decisions about next steps after completing PHP will be based on what is best for each woman.
