Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
Partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) are both structured outpatient levels of care, but they differ in intensity and time commitment. PHP at STR Bucks County runs Monday through Saturday and provides the highest level of outpatient structure — ideal for those stepping down from residential care or who need more support than IOP can offer. IOP is less intensive, meeting three days per week with day and evening options available, and is designed for those who are stable enough to manage more independence while continuing to build recovery skills.
How long is PHP or IOP at STR Bucks County?
Length of stay is individualized based on each client’s clinical, medical, and social needs. On average, most clients spend four to six weeks in PHP and six to eight weeks in IOP. Progress toward treatment goals and overall engagement in the program may influence the overall timeline.
Does STR Bucks County offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?
Yes. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is available at every level of care at STR Bucks County when clinically appropriate. MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a whole-person approach to substance use disorder treatment.
Does STR Bucks County offer supportive housing?
Yes. STR Bucks County offers two supportive housing programs for adults in recovery from substance use disorders and mental health conditions. Supportive housing provides structure, emotional support, practical life skills, and staff guidance — making it an ideal complement to PHP or IOP for those who benefit from added stability during treatment.

Yes. STR Bucks County offers care management services that include assistance with FMLA, short-term disability, and legal matters. Clients meet with their care manager on a weekly basis. Please note that long-term disability assistance is not available through this program.
