PHP substance abuse program with Humana insurance

If you’re looking for a PHP substance abuse program with Humana insurance, you’ve come to the right place. At The Hope House, we understand how important it is to balance intensive care with work and family responsibilities. Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers structured, medical oversight during the day while allowing you to return home each evening. As a result, you can continue meeting obligations at work or with loved ones while receiving the support necessary for lasting recovery.

Humana’s addiction treatment coverage typically includes services such as detox, outpatient care, IOP, PHP, and medication-assisted treatment when deemed medically necessary [1]. Additionally, under the Affordable Care Act, mental health and substance use disorder services must be covered without lifetime caps. Our team works directly with Humana to secure preauthorization, verify your benefits, and outline any out-of-pocket costs before you begin treatment.

At The Hope House, you’ll find tailored treatment programs that blend evidence-based therapies with holistic approaches. From individual counseling to group sessions and medication management, every aspect of our PHP is designed with your unique challenges in mind. Furthermore, partial hospitalization serves as a bridge between inpatient care and less intensive levels of support, helping you build a strong foundation for continued progress.


understand partial hospitalization

Partial hospitalization is an intensive outpatient level of care that typically runs 4 to 8 hours per day, five days a week. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration via American Addiction Centers, PHPs provide a structured environment without requiring overnight stays [2]. This model offers:

  • Medical supervision and daily health checks
  • Individual therapy sessions
  • Group therapy focused on skill building and relapse prevention
  • Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
  • Case management and discharge planning

what is PHP?

Partial hospitalization bridges the gap between inpatient rehab and standard outpatient services. You receive a high level of clinical care—akin to that in residential programs—while sleeping in your own bed. This approach promotes independence and community reintegration, reducing the risk of relapse when transitioning out of full-time care.

key features of PHP

Our PHP at The Hope House emphasizes:

  • Evidence-based therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy
  • Medication-assisted treatment options to ease withdrawal and cravings
  • Peer support groups to foster camaraderie in a supportive environment
  • Family education sessions to involve loved ones in your healing journey
  • Aftercare planning and referrals to step-down programs

Completing a PHP significantly enhances your chances of long-term recovery. With relapse rates for substance use ranging from 40 to 60 percent—comparable to other chronic conditions—structured programs like PHP can reduce that risk by offering continuity of care and ongoing support [3].


Understanding Humana’s plan options and authorization requirements can feel overwhelming. To simplify the process, our admissions team handles benefit verifications, preauthorization requests, and in-network referrals on your behalf. Below is an overview of common Humana plan types:

plan options

Humana’s Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers also influence your out-of-pocket costs and premium levels. Higher tiers generally cover a greater percentage of services with lower deductibles, while Bronze plans have lower premiums but higher cost-sharing. Our financial coordinator can walk you through your specific plan’s benefits, copayments, and deductible responsibilities.

authorization process

Most Humana plans require preauthorization for higher-intensity care like PHP. Here’s what to expect:

  1. Contact your primary care physician (PCP) for a referral or prescription for substance abuse treatment.
  2. Submit preauthorization requests to Humana, including clinical documentation and treatment recommendations.
  3. Await approval, which typically processes within 3–10 business days.
  4. Once authorized, we schedule your intake assessment and make your first day in PHP seamless.

transition with step-down care

After completing PHP, you can step down to less intensive programs while maintaining support in your daily life. This gradual transition helps reinforce coping strategies and prevents abrupt changes that may trigger relapse.

intensive outpatient program

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) usually involves 9–12 hours of group and individual therapy per week. We accept major insurers for IOP, including:

IOP allows you to apply relapse-prevention skills in real-world settings while still receiving a structured schedule of care.

medication assisted treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. At The Hope House, we offer MAT for alcohol and opioid use disorders, including Suboxone and Vivitrol. Coverage examples include:

By integrating MAT into your recovery plan, you’ll benefit from reduced cravings and improved engagement in therapy.


integrate therapy and counseling

Therapy is the cornerstone of lasting recovery. At The Hope House, we offer a variety of therapeutic modalities to address underlying issues and build healthy coping skills.

individual and group therapy

In one-on-one sessions, you’ll explore personal triggers and develop tailored strategies. Group therapy fosters a supportive environment where you can learn from peers facing similar challenges.

family therapy

Healing often involves the people closest to you. Our family therapy services help rebuild trust, improve communication, and create a supportive home environment:

By involving loved ones, we ensure you have a network of understanding and accountability beyond treatment.


involve family in recovery

Addiction affects everyone around you. Inviting family members into the process can strengthen your support system and foster lasting recovery. At The Hope House, we host educational workshops and guided therapy sessions where your loved ones can:

  • Understand the nature of addiction and relapse prevention
  • Practice healthy communication and boundary setting
  • Identify ways to offer encouragement without enabling
  • Learn self-care techniques to manage their own stress

As a result, you’ll return to home life with a shared commitment to healing and understanding.
