Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Nashville, TN at Epiphany Wellness

When you decide to enroll, you’ll instantly be surrounded by a healthcare team that spans several disciplines, from psychiatrists and nurses to licensed clinicians, case managers, peer mentors, and more. The entire treatment team collaborates to create a unified, cohesive treatment plan tailored to address the unique needs of each individual’s well-being. 

The treatment plan is aimed at addressing substance abuse, as well as the mental health conditions and lack of critical life skills that typically accompany the addiction. This means a wide range of treatments or modalities, and solid, evidence-based techniques. 

Mornings will typically include some form of behavioral therapy, such as CBT, DBT, or ACT.[1] These help build the skills needed to address the maladaptive thoughts. Afternoon will often have several sessions of group and individual therapy, as well as educational tracks that build relapse resistance and psychoeducation. Each individual’s psychoeducation will be pertinent to their addiction profile and medical history, focusing on points like trauma, opioid therapy, or mood disorders. 

Family sessions can be held either in-person or virtually, 2 to 4 times each month, so that your loved ones can stay connected to you during this challenging time. The PATH wellness method also incorporates tools that help integrate nutrition, sleep, and even movement, so that your body can catch up with your mind. 

The most significant benefit to PHP programs is that they are highly organized and structured, but they’re still considered outpatient treatment, not inpatient care, because you get to leave at the end of each day. Here’s how we do it at Epiphany Wellness Tennessee.

First, when you contact us, we’ll immediately initiate insurance verification, as this process can take some time to complete. After you arrive on the premises, we’ll do a complete biopsychosocial evaluation, we’ll review your history of substance use and mental health issues, and we’ll need some information about your current medications. From there, we’ll be able to build a deeply personalized plan for your intensive treatment.

Your success builds from a consistent, daily therapeutic rhythm. Each morning, we’ll have a safety check-in alongside medication reviews, as well as evidence-based group therapy modules that teach strategies for targeting incorrect thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and cravings.[2] The average afternoon may also include individual therapy, experiential or mindfulness work, such as art or music therapy, and practical relapse prevention skills that can be applied immediately upon leaving.

One of the biggest reasons that a PHP in Nashville is as effective as it is is the high level of integrated medical oversight. A whole residential care team helps track your progress, withdrawals, and emotional health, so that your medications stay effective.

Measurement is essential for staying motivated, so we’ll help you set short, weekly goals. The team reviews your progress with you and adjusts your care plan promptly when something isn’t yielding the desired outcome.

Finally, we assist with any transition planning you may need, whether it involves one of our programs or not. As your stability grows, you’ll need additional resources to stay on top of your sobriety, such as IOPs, support groups, and even sober living facilities.
