Promises DFW’s partial hospitalization program (PHP) is in-person addiction day treatment for adults 18+ at 400 Highland Dr, Lewisville, TX 75067, serving Dallas-Fort Worth. PHP can be a step down from residential treatment or a step up when less intensive support is insufficient. An assessment determines whether this program fits your current needs.
If you are searching for PHP near Dallas, ask about the Lewisville location and attendance arrangements. Admissions can discuss your treatment history and insurance before you decide how this level would fit into daily life.
What a partial hospitalization program is
PHP provides structured outpatient treatment while you spend time outside the program between treatment days. It is more intensive than a routine weekly therapy appointment. Residential treatment involves living at the facility; PHP is a different level, with suitability based on clinical assessment and your ability to manage outside program hours.
The program is in person at Lewisville. Ask admissions for the current schedule and attendance requirements. The word partial does not tell you how many hours your individual plan will require or what arrangements you need outside treatment. Clarify those details before committing to a start.
Who PHP may be for
Adults may be assessed for PHP after a more intensive addiction program or when current outpatient care is not providing enough support. You should discuss your medical stability and safety, along with practical questions about attending at the campus.
- You have completed residential addiction treatment and need continued structure.
- You need more treatment support than periodic outpatient appointments provide.
- A return to substance use has prompted a review of your care.
- You can attend in person and participate in planned sessions.
- You have a suitable plan for time outside treatment.
- You can discuss changes in symptoms with the treatment team.
These points guide a conversation; they do not guarantee admission. If withdrawal or an immediate safety concern is present, the team may recommend another starting setting. Alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal can be dangerous and need medical review before stopping abruptly. Seek emergency care for urgent symptoms.
What treatment looks like at Promises DFW
A PHP treatment plan considers substance use, mental health concerns and your recovery goals. Individual and group therapy can address patterns of use and ways to respond to difficult situations. Discuss what you want to change in ordinary life, especially the challenges you expect outside scheduled treatment.
CBT work examines thoughts and behaviors that can contribute to substance use. DBT skills focus on distress, emotion regulation and communication. Practice can involve recognizing a trigger, choosing a response and discussing what happened afterward. Ask the team how these approaches fit the plan recommended for you.
Family involvement may be discussed when it supports treatment and you give permission. Ask about available arrangements instead of assuming a particular session schedule. Loved ones may need guidance about what support is helpful during the transition from a more structured setting.
When addiction occurs with depression, anxiety or PTSD and trauma concerns, dual diagnosis care can address the co-occurring needs. Primary mental health care at Promises DFW is residential. This addiction PHP should not be understood as a stand-alone primary mental health program.
How PHP fits with other addiction care levels
Detox and residential treatment
Medical detox may be needed to address withdrawal before outpatient participation. Residential addiction treatment provides a live-in setting when more support is appropriate. Completing detox does not automatically establish that PHP is the next level; the clinical team reviews your current needs.
A step down or a step up
Some adults enter PHP after residential care to continue treatment while spending more time in their everyday environment. Others are assessed for PHP because a less intensive program is no longer meeting their addiction needs. Tell the team about symptoms or a return to use so the recommendation can be reconsidered.
Virtual IOP and aftercare
When a lower treatment intensity fits, virtual IOP for Texas residents may be considered. IOP sessions are online, unlike the in-person PHP at Lewisville. Aftercare planning addresses continued support beyond structured treatment, including what needs to be arranged before a transition.
Starting PHP and preparing between sessions
For the assessment, be ready to discuss recent substance use, previous care and current prescriptions. Explain where you will be staying and any concern about getting to campus. If you are leaving residential treatment elsewhere, ask how to provide relevant records with the appropriate permission.
During PHP, describe what you notice outside sessions. A difficult interaction, a change in cravings or a problem following the plan can be brought back to the team. That discussion helps connect treatment to real circumstances and gives clinicians information about whether the level continues to fit.
Before starting, ask about attendance expectations and whom to contact if you cannot attend. Also ask how a need for more support will be assessed. Do not assume that the program’s name includes housing or establishes a particular daily schedule; confirm the actual arrangements with admissions.
If another clinician has been providing your care, ask how treatment information can be shared with the appropriate permission. That discussion can include recent progress, unresolved concerns and goals for the next stage. You can also clarify which provider to contact for different questions. Knowing how communication will work helps you prepare for the transition without assuming that PHP replaces every existing service.
Coming from Dallas, Fort Worth or North Texas
The PHP takes place at our Lewisville campus, so an in-person participation plan needs to account for travel. Review the Dallas guide for regional treatment and Fort Worth regional treatment information, or find other communities in the service area overview.
If transportation is a concern, raise it before arranging a start date. Virtual IOP may be another clinically appropriate level, but an online format does not make it interchangeable with PHP. The care recommendation and the attendance plan need to be discussed together.
Insurance and Medicaid for addiction PHP
Commercial coverage for the recommended PHP should be checked against your specific policy. Visit our insurance and treatment benefits information, then ask admissions about the service being reviewed and any required authorization. Approval for a residential stay does not establish approval for PHP.
Texas Medicaid at this facility is for substance use treatment only. Read the Texas Medicaid addiction coverage page and regional Medicaid treatment guide. The plan must be checked for active eligibility, benefits and authorization for PHP. Coverage cannot be promised from the program name alone.
