Partial Care Program (PHP)

IOP3 is ideal for individuals who have progressed through PHP or IOP5 and are ready for more autonomy while maintaining clinical support and peer connection.

Testimonials

Stories of Recovery

Real experiences from patients, families, and alumni who found their path at Valley Spring.

"I was terrified to ask for help, but from my very first phone call the team at Valley Spring made me feel safe. The evening IOP program let me keep working while getting the care I desperately needed. I'm 14 months sober now."
— Michael R., IOP Graduate
"The Partial Care program gave me the structure I needed after leaving residential treatment. Having a full day of therapy and then going home to practice what I learned — that's what made recovery stick for me."
— Sarah T., PHP Graduate
"Watching my son struggle with addiction was the hardest thing our family has ever been through. Valley Spring didn't just treat him — they included us. The family sessions helped us heal together and learn how to support his recovery without enabling."
— Linda M., Parent
"When my wife entered the PHP program, I didn't know what to expect. The staff communicated with me every step of the way and helped me understand addiction as a disease, not a choice. We're stronger now than we've been in years."
— David K., Spouse
"I completed the program two years ago and the alumni community is still a huge part of my life. The monthly meetings and outings keep me connected to people who truly understand my journey. Valley Spring gave me more than sobriety — they gave me a community."
— James P., 2+ Years in Recovery
"Being a peer mentor through the alumni program has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Helping newcomers see that recovery is possible — because I'm living proof — keeps me motivated every single day."
— Angela W., Peer Mentor & Alumni
