What is a PHP for Eating Disorders?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of outpatient care for eating disorders. It provides the intensity of inpatient treatment — including daily therapy, meal support, and medical monitoring — but clients return home or to supportive housing at night.

PHP is ideal for individuals who need more structure than standard outpatient care but who are medically stable enough not to require 24/7 supervision.

At Virtue Recovery, PHP is an important step for clients either transitioning from inpatient treatment or those who require intensive support without full hospitalization.

5 Benefits of PHP for Eating Disorders

Daily Structured Support

PHP provides clients with a reliable daily schedule that includes therapy, meals, and accountability. This consistent structure helps reduce uncertainty and reinforces positive recovery habits.

Step-Down Care

Partial hospitalization serves as a bridge between inpatient treatment and outpatient recovery. It allows clients to maintain therapeutic intensity while gradually increasing independence.

Family & Home Integration

Clients begin practicing recovery skills in real-world settings with the support of their families. This integration helps strengthen progress and prepares them for long-term success outside of treatment.

Flexible Healing

PHP provides intensive care while still allowing clients to live at home with family or in supportive housing. This balance gives clients both structure and personal flexibility during recovery.

Lower Cost Than Inpatient Care

Partial hospitalization delivers access to comprehensive treatment at a reduced cost compared to residential programs. Clients receive robust care without the financial demands of full inpatient treatment.
