Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Soquel, CA
Soquel may be a small village, but its needs are real. Residents here face the same substance use challenges affecting all of Santa Cruz County, and many people who need more than weekly therapy don't need — or can't step away from work and family for — residential care. A partial hospitalization program fills that gap, delivering hospital-level clinical intensity close to home in the Soquel area.
Our PHP serves Soquel residents with a schedule designed for real life: full treatment days during the week, evenings and weekends at home, and a care team that understands the local recovery community. Whether you're stepping down from detox or residential treatment or stepping up from outpatient care that isn't enough, we'll build a plan around you — and when you're ready, we'll connect you with Soquel and Santa Cruz County supports like sober living, 12-step meetings, and ongoing outpatient care.
If you or someone you love in Soquel is struggling with drug or alcohol addiction, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers intensive, structured care without requiring an overnight stay. It's the highest level of outpatient treatment available — ideal for people who need more support than weekly therapy but don't need 24/7 residential care.
Our PHP serves the Soquel community with full-day programming that includes individual therapy, group counseling, relapse-prevention skills, and care for co-occurring mental health conditions. You get the depth of clinical treatment you need while staying connected to your home, family, and life in Santa Cruz County.
