Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) typically meets 5–6 days per week for 5–6 hours per day. An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is less intensive — usually 3 days per week for 3 hours per session. PHP is designed for people stepping down from residential care; IOP is appropriate for those with moderate needs and a stable home environment.
How many hours per week is IOP in Georgia?
Most IOP programs in Georgia provide 9–20 hours of structured clinical programming per week. ASAM guidelines define IOP as a minimum of 9 hours weekly. Many programs offer morning, afternoon, and evening tracks to accommodate work and family schedules.
Does insurance cover PHP or IOP?
Most major insurance plans — including Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurers — are required by the Mental Health Parity Act to cover PHP and IOP. Contact the program directly to verify your specific benefits, co-pays, and any prior authorization requirements.
