Programs with the fullest public record come first. Levels of care and insurance are as listed on FindTreatment.gov or the program's own website. Filter them by insurance, language and telehealth.
What partial hospitalization (PHP) is
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) gives at least 20 hours of treatment a week, often 4 or more hours a day, 5 days a week, and you sleep at home. That's the line for ASAM's Level 2.5 and for Medicare's PHP benefit. PHP fits when you need a lot of support but have a safe, sober place to sleep. It's often the step down from detox or residential care, or a way to avoid a residential stay.
A day mixes group therapy, individual counseling and visits with a doctor or nurse, and you go home in the evening.
Not sure which level fits? Find your fit asks four questions, and IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care compares them. A program will also assess you and recommend a level of care.
Questions about PHP in Denver
Which partial hospitalization programs (PHP) in Denver take Medicaid (Health First Colorado)?
12 list Medicaid on their records: AspenRidge Recovery, Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, Guardian Recovery, Red Rock Recovery Center, Sandstone Care and 7 more. Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: if your card names a health plan, the program has to be in that plan's network.
What insurance do they take?
18 accept private insurance, 3 Medicare and 11 TRICARE. The plans named most on their own websites: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (9), Cigna (9), Aetna (6) and UnitedHealthcare (5). A program that doesn't name your plan may still take it: call the number on your insurance card and ask whether the program is in network for PHP, whether you need prior authorization, and what you'll pay.
How much does PHP cost in Denver?
Cima Find Care doesn't list prices: what you pay depends on your insurance, the program and how long you need care. Of these 18 programs, 18 take cash or self-pay and 4 have a sliding-scale fee set by income. Before you start, ask the program to check your benefits and to put the daily or weekly price in writing.
How long does PHP last?
Often a few weeks, then a step down to IOP or outpatient care as you get steadier. Insurance usually approves PHP a few days at a time and reviews how you're doing.
What should I bring?
A photo ID, your insurance or Medicaid card, a list of your medicines and doses, and your doctors' names and numbers. The first visit is mostly an assessment and paperwork, so it can take longer than a regular session.
What if I need help right now?
In an emergency, call 911. In a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988, any time. SAMHSA's National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357, is free, confidential and open all day, every day, and can refer you to treatment.
