A typical PHP day: morning check-in, group therapy (CBT/DBT skills, trauma-informed groups, relapse prevention), individual therapy, psychiatric time if medication is part of the plan, and dismissal by mid-afternoon.
IOP compresses that into a 3-hour block, morning or evening.
Between sessions you live your life. That's the point — skills get tested in real conditions and brought back into the next day.
