This level of care is a step down from a residential program. PHP provides a higher level of care than traditional outpatient programs by offering a mix of therapeutic activities and services for seven hours a day, five days a week. The program includes a minimum of twenty hours of counseling services per week, tailored to meet each patient’s specific treatment and recovery needs.

Individual counseling sessions at Protected Roots Integrative (PRI) are designed to provide personalized, one-on-one support to each patient. These sessions typically begin within the first week of admission and continue at regular intervals throughout the treatment program. The primary purpose of individual sessions is to help patients process their unique stressors, overcome personal barriers to treatment, and establish a stable foundation for recovery. Developing a strong, trusting relationship between the patient and their assigned mental health provider is critical in these sessions. This rapport enables open communication, fosters a safe space for sharing, and enhances the overall effectiveness of the therapeutic process, ensuring that each patient’s specific needs and challenges are addressed comprehensively and compassionately.
Group therapy sessions at Protected Roots Integrative (PRI) offer a dynamic and supportive environment where patients can share their experiences and learn from each other. Typically consisting of 5-18 participants, these sessions are facilitated by experienced mental health providers who guide discussions and therapeutic activities. The structure of group therapy fosters peer support, enhances social skills, and provides a sense of community. Therapeutic focus areas in our group sessions include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which promotes mindfulness and values-driven living; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which addresses irrational thoughts and behaviors; Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance; Executive Functioning Coaching, which develops organizational and planning skills; Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), which improves attachment and interpersonal relationships; Motivational Interviewing (MI), which helps patients move from ambivalence to commitment to change; and Seeking Safety, which addresses trauma and substance use.
Family therapy sessions at Protected Roots Integrative (PRI) are a vital component of the treatment process, recognizing the critical role that family support plays in a patient’s recovery. These sessions aim to improve communication, problem-solving, and coping skills within the family unit, enhancing the overall sense of connection and support. Held once a week and typically lasting 50 minutes, family therapy sessions are solution-focused and short-term. The structured approach helps families understand the dynamics that may contribute to the patient’s substance use and mental health issues, and provides strategies to support their loved one’s recovery. By involving families in the treatment process, we help create a stronger, more supportive network for the patient, facilitating better outcomes and long-term success.
At Protected Roots Integrative (PRI), discharge planning is an integral part of the treatment process, beginning at the initial counseling assessment. Effective discharge planning is crucial to ensure that patients maintain the progress achieved during treatment and continue working on their recovery post-discharge. A week before discharge, a pre-discharge conference is held with the patient and their family to review the aftercare plan. This meeting involves discussing the reasons for aftercare, outlining the necessary steps, and providing contact information for follow-up appointments. The discharge plan includes specific actions the patient can take to support their ongoing recovery, such as participating in alumni events and attending support groups. Referrals to relevant services and resources tailored to the patient’s needs are also provided, ensuring a seamless transition from our care to continued support in their recovery journey.
At Protected Roots Integrative (PRI), a thorough post-treatment review of participant files is conducted to ensure comprehensive treatment and meticulous documentation. This process involves examining closed files to verify that all aspects of the treatment plan were appropriately addressed and documented. The review checks for the relevance of treatment planning to the patient’s identified problems, the adequacy of services provided, and the patient’s participation in scheduled activities. Proper documentation is crucial for maintaining high standards of patient care and ensuring that each treatment plan is effectively implemented and adjusted as necessary. This systematic review process helps PRI continuously improve its services and maintain accountability in providing top-quality care for all patients.
