Partial Hospitalization Program in Scottsdale, Arizona

A Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP, is day treatment. You're here five days a week, five to six hours a day, for four to eight weeks. Then you go home. At Redefine in Scottsdale, that time is built from more than 20 clinical and integrative therapies, matched to what you actually need. Joint Commission accredited.

PHP Program

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Scottsdale

PHP sits between weekly therapy and inpatient care. You get the structure of a hospital day without the hospital bed. Redefine runs it five days a week, 25 to 30 hours across the week, for four to eight weeks, inside our outpatient programs. Sessions like neurofeedback sit in the same schedule as your therapy.

Joint Commission Accredited
Five Days a Week
Out-of-Network Provider
  • Therapies run together. Most programs move you through stages. Here, your therapist, psychiatric provider, and neurofeedback tech work the same week, so nothing waits its turn.
  • Built around you. More than 20 modalities are on the table. Your clinical team picks the combination that fits your presentation, and changes it when your response says to.
  • Home every evening. You practice what you worked on that day in the place it actually matters. Discharge at five, dinner at home.

PHP is one level of care. It is not the only one that fits.

PHP at Every Level of Care

Getting Started

Before anything is scheduled, you talk with our team by phone. We go through what has been happening, what you have already tried, and your insurance. Redefine is an out-of-network provider, so coverage and reimbursement vary by plan. Verify your benefits before you start.

A Week in PHP

Five days on site. Five to six hours each day. Mornings tend to be group and skills work, afternoons individual and body-based sessions. Your clinical team meets about your case during the same week you are in it, so a plan can change on a Wednesday instead of a month later.

Inside the week
25 to 30 program hours weekly
Individual therapy and process groups
Neurofeedback and nervous system regulation
Somatic and body-based sessions

Stepping Down

PHP ends when the structure stops helping. Most people step down to three days a week and 9 to 12 hours, so work and family fit back in. Some continue with individual sessions or a private retreat instead.

The PHP Process, Step by Step

1

You Call, We Listen

The first conversation is a phone call. Not a form. We ask what has been happening and what you have already tried. If PHP is not the right level for you, we say so and point you toward the one that is.

2

Assessment Shapes the Plan

A clinical assessment comes before your first full day. It sets which modalities go into your week and in what order. Your psychiatric provider reviews medication at the same time, not weeks into the program.

3

Five Days of Coordinated Care

Then the week starts. Twenty-five to thirty hours across five days, mixing group work, individual therapy, neurofeedback, and body-based sessions. Your team talks about your case while you are still in the week it happened.

4

Planning the Step Down

Four to eight weeks is a range. Not a countdown. What moves you out is your response, not a date on a form. Most people step down to a lighter level rather than stopping cold.

PHP asks for real time. Twenty-five to thirty hours a week is close to a full-time job and will not fit around one. If that is your constraint, a lighter level of care exists for that reason.

What PHP Is Built For

Depression and Anxiety

When getting through the day takes everything you have, a weekly session can be too thin a container. PHP gives the hours: therapy and skills groups in the morning, neurofeedback and psychiatric review built into the same week. We treat depression and anxiety as things you are experiencing, not what you are. Individual results vary.

  • Structure on the days that feel impossible
  • Medication reviewed by a psychiatric provider
  • Nervous system work alongside talk therapy

Trauma and PTSD

Some things do not move with talk alone. PHP gives room for PTSD treatment to run next to somatic sessions and nervous system regulation, so the body is part of the work rather than an afterthought. Pacing is set by your clinician, not the calendar. Individual results vary.

  • EMDR, somatic experiencing, and Brainspotting
  • Trauma work paced by your clinician
  • Grounding and regulation built into the day

Bipolar and Mood

Mood conditions need medication and structure moving together. In PHP your psychiatric provider and your therapist are in the same week, so a medication change and what you report in group are not two separate conversations. Bipolar disorder treatment here is coordinated, not handed off. Individual results vary.

  • Psychiatry and therapy inside one schedule
  • Sleep and routine tracked as clinical data
  • Medication coordination throughout the program

Dual Diagnosis

Treating a mental health condition and a substance use disorder separately tends to leave one of them running. Our dual diagnosis treatment holds both inside one plan and one team. Person-first, without the moralizing. Individual results vary.

  • One plan for both conditions
  • Care for people with substance use disorders
  • Psychiatric oversight throughout the program

More Therapies, Better Outcomes

PHP is built from over 20 clinical and holistic approaches. You will not get all of them. Your clinical team selects the combination that fits your specific presentation, not a preset checklist, and delivers those together in the same week rather than in stages. That is the part most programs do not do.

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
What I was most happy about and sold me on getting therapy myself was how caring everyone is. And it’s not time limited. Like if you need an extra 20 mins cause it was a hard session then they will work with you to get that extra 20 mins. And they didn’t seem rushed to get to the next person. I’m so happy to say I would 100% recommend this place over and over.

“Highly recommend if you’re looking for something focused and personal.”

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
I did a 5-day intensive at Redefine and it was exactly what I needed. The space was calm and private, and the sessions were deep but manageable. It gave me time to slow down, reset, and really focus on things I hadn’t had space to deal with. The team was supportive without being pushy — they really respected where I was at. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something focused and personal.

What the Research Says About PHP

Inside the Standard of Care

1 / 5
OutpatientDefinition

Medicare defines partial hospitalization as a structured program providing outpatient psychiatric services as an alternative to inpatient psychiatric care. That is the level of care this page describes.

4 to 8 HoursIntensity

Medicare describes these programs as usually including between 4 and 8 hours of care each day, more intensive than what you get in a doctor's or therapist's office. Redefine runs 5 to 6 hours daily.

23.1%Prevalence

In 2022, an estimated 59.3 million U.S. adults had any mental illness, which is 23.1% of all adults, per the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.

50.6%Treatment Gap

Of those 59.3 million adults, 30.0 million, or 50.6%, received mental health treatment in the past year. Close to half received none at all.

25 to 30Our Program

Redefine's PHP runs five days a week, 25 to 30 hours weekly, across four to eight weeks. That sits inside the intensity range Medicare describes for this level of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

A Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP, is structured day treatment. You attend five days a week for five to six hours a day, then go home each evening. Medicare describes this level of care as outpatient psychiatric services that serve as an alternative to inpatient care.
Four to eight weeks is the usual range at Redefine. Your response ends it, not a date. Most people step down to a lighter level rather than stopping all at once.
Then PHP is probably the wrong fit, and that is worth knowing early. Twenty-five to thirty hours a week will not fit around a full-time schedule. A lighter level of care exists for exactly this reason, and our team can walk you through the options by phone.
The difference is hours. PHP runs five days a week for 25 to 30 hours; the intensive outpatient level runs three days a week for 9 to 12 hours. PHP is for people who need daily structure. The lighter level is for people who need support while keeping work and family going.
No. PHP is outpatient, so there is no overnight stay. You are on site during program hours, 9 AM to 5 PM Monday to Friday, and you go home every evening.

Our Mission

At Redefine Wellness and Treatment, we empower healing by uniting mind, body, and spirit. Using trauma-informed therapies, neuroscience, and holistic practices, we deliver personalized care that fosters resilience, growth, and lasting transformation.
