At Firm Foundation Treatment Center, we offer a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for men seeking intensive support in their recovery from addiction. Our PHP provides a structured environment with Christ-centered care, combining evidence-based treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Relapse Prevention, Family Systems Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Art Therapy. PHP is ideal for men who need a high level of support but do not require a 24-hour residential treatment program.
This program allows clients to receive intensive therapy during the day while returning home or to a sober living environment in the evening. Our PHP helps men address the root causes of addiction, process trauma, and build the skills needed for long-term recovery.
A PHP represents a wonderful transition for individuals who are progressing in their recovery journey and no longer need 24/7 supervision, yet still benefit from meaningful structure and support. It beautifully bridges the gap between inpatient care and outpatient treatment, offering a thoughtful blend of clinical treatment and real-world experience.
Clients typically participate in PHP sessions five to six days a week, engaging in individual therapy sessions, group therapy session, and enriching faith-based recovery activities throughout the day, before returning to their sober living environment in the evening. This level of care empowers individuals with a strong support network while embracing greater personal responsibility, paving the way for a bright and hopeful future!
At Firm Foundation, our PHP is perfectly crafted for clients who:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and effective therapeutic approaches in addiction recovery. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that contribute to substance use. In our Atlanta PHP treatment, CBT helps clients develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving, breaking the cycle of addiction.
How CBT Supports Recovery in PHP:
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered therapy that helps men explore their ambivalence about recovery and strengthen their motivation for change. MI is particularly useful for individuals who may feel uncertain about quitting substances or are struggling with self-doubt about their ability to maintain sobriety.
How MI Supports Recovery in PHP:
Relapse Prevention is a critical part of the PHP at our treatment facility, focusing on helping clients develop the skills and strategies they need to avoid relapse. Relapse often occurs when individuals face triggers or high-risk situations that they are not prepared to handle. Our relapse prevention strategies equip clients with tools to manage cravings, avoid triggers, and maintain their sobriety.

How Family Systems Therapy Supports Recovery in PHP:
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process traumatic experiences that contribute to their addiction. Many men use substances to cope with unresolved trauma, and EMDR provides a safe and structured way to work through these painful memories.
How EMDR Supports Recovery in PHP:
Art Therapy offers clients a creative outlet for expressing emotions, processing trauma, and exploring their recovery journey. This therapeutic approach is particularly helpful for individuals who struggle to articulate their feelings verbally. Through creative expression, clients can gain new insights into their emotions and experiences.
How Art Therapy Supports Recovery in PHP:
