No two people experience mental health or substance use challenges the same way — and treatment should reflect that. At Bold Steps in New Hampshire, we offer Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) and other levels of care designed to meet each person where they are. Whether it’s your background, your support system, or the way you respond to therapy, your story matters — and your care should, too. We take the time to understand your unique needs and create a treatment plan that fits.
If you’re navigating substance use, mental health challenges, or both (see dual diagnosis), our evidence-based PHP program is built to meet you where you are — and help you take the next step forward.
Considering the next steps in seeking help for addiction or mental health issues can feel overwhelming. A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) might be the bridge you’ve been looking for. By combining intensive treatment with the flexibility of returning home at the end of each day, PHPs offer robust care without the need for full hospitalization.
A PHP at Bold Steps New Hampshire fills an essential gap in treatment, offering comprehensive support for those with substance use, mental health challenges, and dual diagnoses. It’s uniquely positioned between outpatient care and inpatient hospitalization, making it a versatile option for many. Whether you’re dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, or a combination, PHPs provide intensive therapy and care tailored to your needs. Our team can guide you to the right level of care for your needs (603) 915-4223.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured, non-residential level of care that provides intensive behavioral health treatment during the day while allowing you to return home in the evenings. PHP is often used when someone needs more support than an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) but does not require 24/7 inpatient or residential care.
Key features of a Partial Hospitalization Program include:
PHP is designed to help people build stability, strengthen coping skills, and make meaningful progress—without disconnecting completely from home and daily life.
A Partial Hospitalization Program is built around a consistent weekly structure so you can stabilize, build skills, and make progress with strong support. While each treatment plan is individualized, PHP typically includes:
The goal of PHP isn’t just getting through the week—it’s building stability you can carry into real life, with enough support to keep things from sliding backward.
At Bold Steps, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers structured, intensive support without the need for overnight stays. It’s designed for individuals who need more than weekly therapy but don’t require full inpatient hospitalization. Our PHP acts as a crucial middle step in the continuum of care, bridging gaps between crisis stabilization and long-term outpatient therapy.
Individualized treatment planning to match your goals, diagnoses, and family dynamics
Access to licensed social workers, psychiatric providers, and multidisciplinary treatment teams
Evidence-based modalities including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and individual therapy sessions
Specialized support for co-occurring conditions such as anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and Post-traumatic stress disorder
Connections to local community programs and wraparound mental health treatment resources
We treat a range of psychiatric disorders within this framework, aiming to prevent unnecessary inpatient unitadmissions while ensuring that symptoms don’t escalate to emergency levels. For those transitioning from an inpatient program or stepping down from an emergency department, PHP provides an essential stabilizing environment.
Looking ahead, we help you set measurable treatment goals and maintain progress through coordinated follow-up—whether that’s outpatient treatment, day treatment programs, or referrals for occupational therapy or psychiatric care.

PHP works best when the level of care matches what you’re dealing with day-to-day. A Partial Hospitalization Program may be a good fit if you’re experiencing symptoms that are disrupting life in a significant way—but you’re able to remain safe outside of treatment hours.
PHP may be a good fit if you:
PHP commonly supports individuals navigating:
When a higher level of care may be more appropriate
PHP may not be the right fit if you need:
If you’re unsure which level of care is right, that’s normal. A clinical assessment can help determine whether PHP is the best next step—or whether IOP, outpatient treatment, detox, or inpatient care would better support your needs.

Our aim is to equip individuals with the tools and resources they need, offering a safe environment to work through difficulties with expert guidance.
Substance abuse can profoundly disrupt lives, making the path to recovery seem daunting. PHP at Bold Steps NH provides a structured framework to address these challenges.

Our PHP caters to individuals dealing with various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder.
