Partial Hospitalization
Program (PHP) in San Diego

For many people, PHP is one of the most effective levels of care available. It provides the structure and clinical intensity of inpatient treatment without requiring an overnight stay, making it easier to maintain some connection to daily life. Research consistently shows that structured outpatient programs like PHP produce strong outcomes for mental health, trauma, and substance use — particularly when treatment addresses the whole person, not just symptoms.

The daily cost of a partial hospitalization program varies depending on the provider and your insurance plan. Most PPO insurance plans cover PHP, which can significantly reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs. At Monima, we work with most major PPO insurers and can verify your benefits and advise you of your out-of-pocket costs before you begin treatment. You can verify your insurance here or call us at 858-500-1542 with any questions.

PHP is typically recommended when someone needs more support than weekly therapy can provide, but does not require 24-hour inpatient care. It’s often a good fit following a hospitalization, a mental health crisis, or when symptoms are significantly interfering with daily functioning. A clinical assessment can help determine whether PHP is the appropriate level of care for your situation.

The first step is typically a clinical assessment, either by phone or in person, to determine whether PHP is the right level of care. At Monima, our admissions process is straightforward: you can reach out through our contact page or call 858-500-1542, and our team will guide you through next steps, including insurance verification and scheduling.

Most PPO insurance plans cover partial hospitalization programs, including PHP at Monima Wellness Center. Coverage levels vary by plan, but PHP is generally recognized as a medically necessary level of care, which supports reimbursement. Monima does not accept Medicare or Medi-Cal. If you’re unsure what your plan covers, we can help you verify your insurance at no cost.

Monima’s PHP is built specifically for women and female-identifying individuals, with a clinical model that goes well beyond symptom management. Every client receives neuropsychological testing at intake to guide accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment planning. The program integrates trauma-focused modalities—including Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and Cognitive Processing Therapy—alongside traditional Chinese medicine, on-site psychiatric care, and MAT when appropriate. It’s a level of clinical depth that’s rare in an outpatient setting that accepts insurance.
