Comprehensive Care Through Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
At Firm Foundation Treatment Center in Woodstock, GA, 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 24-hour residential care.
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.
What is the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Firm Foundation Treatment Center is designed to offer comprehensive treatment for men who require intensive therapeutic support but prefer not to reside in an inpatient facility. PHP bridges the gap between inpatient care and outpatient care, providing a balance of structure and independence. Clients typically attend PHP for five to seven days a week, receiving several hours of therapy each day.
PHP offers a holistic approach to recovery, addressing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of addiction. Through evidence-based therapies and faith-based guidance, clients develop the tools necessary to manage cravings, process trauma, and build a strong foundation for sobriety.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in PHP
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 PHP, CBT helps clients develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving, breaking the cycle of addiction.
How CBT Supports Recovery in PHP:
- Identifying Negative Thought Patterns: CBT helps clients recognize the destructive thoughts that lead to substance use, such as feelings of hopelessness or low self-worth.
- Developing Coping Strategies: Clients learn practical skills to manage cravings and handle high-risk situations without resorting to drugs or alcohol.
- Challenging Cognitive Distortions: By challenging irrational thoughts, such as “I need alcohol to relax,” CBT empowers clients to replace harmful behaviors with healthy ones.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in PHP
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is particularly effective for individuals who struggle with emotional regulation or impulsivity, both of which are common in men with substance use disorders. DBT combines mindfulness practices with skills for managing emotions and relationships, helping clients build a life worth living without substances.
How DBT Supports Recovery in PHP:
- Emotional Regulation: DBT teaches clients how to identify and manage intense emotions without turning to substances.
- Distress Tolerance: Clients learn how to tolerate and cope with distressing situations in healthier ways, reducing the risk of relapse.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: DBT improves communication skills, helping clients build healthier relationships and navigate conflicts without substance use.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) 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:
- Exploring Ambivalence: MI encourages clients to explore their mixed feelings about sobriety, helping them clarify their personal reasons for wanting to change.
- Building Confidence: MI empowers clients by focusing on their strengths and past successes, boosting their confidence in their ability to overcome addiction.
- Enhancing Motivation: MI helps clients develop a stronger internal drive to pursue recovery, making them more likely to engage fully in the treatment process.
Relapse Prevention in PHP
Relapse Prevention is a critical part of our PHP, 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 Relapse Prevention Supports Recovery in PHP:
- Identifying Triggers: Clients work with their therapist to identify the specific people, places, or emotions that trigger their cravings for substances.
- Developing a Relapse Prevention Plan: Each client creates a personalized plan that includes coping strategies, support systems, and practical steps to avoid relapse.
- Building Emotional Resilience: Through relapse prevention techniques, clients learn how to manage stress and negative emotions without turning to substances.
Family Systems Therapy in PHP
Family Systems Therapy recognizes that addiction impacts not only the individual but also their entire family. This therapeutic approach involves working with the family as a unit, helping them address unhealthy dynamics, improve communication, and build a supportive environment for recovery.
How Family Systems Therapy Supports Recovery in PHP:
- Improving Communication: Family Systems Therapy teaches families how to communicate more effectively, reducing misunderstandings and conflicts.
- Healing Relationships: Addiction often damages family relationships, and Family Systems Therapy provides a space for healing and reconciliation.
- Creating a Supportive Environment: By addressing unhealthy dynamics like enabling or codependency, Family Systems Therapy helps families build a more supportive environment for the individual in recovery.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) 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:
- Processing Trauma: EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories in a healthy way, reducing the emotional impact these memories have on their daily lives.
- Reducing Triggers: By addressing the trauma that often serves as a trigger for substance use, EMDR helps clients reduce their cravings and manage stress.
- Building Healthier Coping Skills: As clients heal from trauma, they are better able to develop healthier coping mechanisms for managing emotional pain and avoiding relapse.
Art Therapy 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:
- Non-Verbal Expression: Art Therapy allows clients to express emotions and experiences that may be difficult to put into words.
- Processing Trauma: Creating art can help clients process trauma in a non-verbal way, providing a safe space for healing.
- Building Self-Esteem: Art Therapy encourages personal growth and helps clients build self-confidence, which is essential for long-term recovery.

At Firm Foundation Treatment Center, our PHP is rooted in faith. We believe that true healing comes from addressing the mind, body, and spirit. Our Christ-centered approach integrates spiritual practices, such as prayer and scripture, into each therapeutic modality. This holistic approach helps men strengthen their relationship with God while working toward their recovery goals.
