La Mesa PHP Treatment
Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) at Alvarado Parkway Institute is an intensive outpatient clinical treatment program located in La Mesa. This program serves adults ages 18 and older diagnosed with mental illnesses and/or substance use disorders. We understand that everyday life can be challenging for individuals suffering from these issues, and many require daily assistance in managing their symptoms.
Our PHP services provide the daytime support these clients need to pursue a balanced healing journey. It’s our mission to help other people find their way to their fullest potential and become happier, healthier versions of themselves.
What are PHP Services?
PHP services are the highest level of outpatient services, and they are designed to promote independence while still providing a high level of structure.
In this program, you’ll receive psychiatric assessments and participate in individual therapy, group therapy, stress management techniques, and more.
Over time, these treatment options can help you develop tools and coping skills to prepare for life outside of and after the program. The goal is to equip you to manage your life in a safe, healthy way without excessive disruption to your daily routine.
Intensive Daytime Treatment
Partial hospitalization combines the intensity of inpatient treatment with the flexibility of outpatient care to help you through mental health and/or addiction recovery.
PHP is our most intensive and supportive program. Services are offered for six hours a day, five days a week, starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 3:00 p.m. Afterward, clients return home to be with family or friends and to implement the skills they’ve learned during treatment in their afternoons and evenings.
With this schedule, you can participate in a daily routine designed for your wellness and then have the freedom to keep up with personal, academic, career, or social activities for the rest of the day. We offer lunch and snacks in this program, as well as transportation for people in designated areas.

The addictive disorders we treat are as follows:
- Alcohol addiction

Our Dual Diagnosis Services
We also offer dual diagnosis care for people with mental health and substance abuse disorders. This treatment uses multiple therapies to support a comprehensive recovery.
Choosing the Right Level of Care
Finding the level of care that best fits your needs involves coordinating with professionals to consider factors like your symptom severity, support network, and environment.
Clients are typically referred to partial hospitalization when they have high risk for relapse and/or are experiencing psychiatric symptoms that are challenging to deal with but don’t require around-the-clock care.
PHP treatment may be right for you if you meet one or more of the following criteria:
- You require intensive support for mental health and/or addiction recovery
- Your symptoms are interfering with your everyday life
- Your needs can be addressed outside of a full-time treatment setting
- You have a solid support system
- You have access to environments that will support your recovery
- You require a step-down program after inpatient care
We also offer intensive outpatient program (IOP) services and inpatient services for those seeking a different level of support.
IOP offers more daytime flexibility than PHP and is the next step-down level of care recommended after PHP. Services are available for three to five days a week for three hours each day.
IOP care is offered at our La Mesa, El Cajon, and San Diego locations, and inpatient care, which provides 24/7 support, is available at our La Mesa location.
