When daily life becomes too hard to manage—but inpatient treatment feels like too much—a partial hospitalization program can meet you right where you are. At Freedom Recovery, our Christ-centered PHP in Columbus, Ohio, provides a structured, therapeutic setting for people navigating serious mental health challenges, with care grounded in faith, compassion, and clinical expertise.
Our program is designed to bridge the gap: more support than outpatient therapy, but with the flexibility to sleep in your own bed at night. If you’re struggling but not sure where to turn, this may be the next right step.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an intensive day-treatment model for people facing serious mental health symptoms who don’t require 24/7 care. It’s often used as a step down from inpatient hospitalization or a step up from traditional outpatient therapy.

You receive consistent, high-touch support—while staying connected to your family, your home, and your faith.

No. God is not disappointed in you—He is with you. Struggle doesn’t separate you from His love. In fact, Scripture is filled with people who wrestled with pain, doubt, and hardship—and were still called, cherished, and restored.
Our program is built on the belief that grace is not earned by doing well—it’s received when we need it most. You don’t have to feel strong or holy to be loved by God. You already are.
We know this fear runs deep. But here’s the truth: you are not alone, and you are not disqualified from community because you’re hurting. In fact, the Church is meant to be a place for the weary—not just the well.
Sometimes the best path back to God is through each other. If you’ve lost connection with your church, our team can help you reconnect—or help you find a community where honesty, grace, and healing are welcomed. God never turns His back on us—and when we can’t feel Him, brothers and sisters in Christ can help us find our way.
The length of stay varies, but most clients participate in PHP for 30 to 90 days. Your treatment team will regularly review your progress and recommend next steps that match your needs and goals.
PHP is a full-time, day-treatment level of care. If you’re working or attending school, it may need to be paused temporarily. For some clients, this break creates the space needed to fully focus on healing.
You’re not alone—and you have options. While Freedom Recovery doesn’t operate its own sober housing, we regularly refer clients to trusted sober living and transitional housing partners in the Columbus area. If you’re worried about going home, we’ll help you find a safer solution before you begin.
No referral is needed. You can reach out to us directly, and we’ll walk you through a simple, private assessment to determine if PHP is the best fit for your mental health condition.
We’ll work with you to create a step-down plan that might include IOP, outpatient therapy, or other mental health recovery supports. You won’t be left on your own—we stay with you through every transition.
Facing addiction alone is a difficult path, but we believe our faith-based programs in combination with evidence based treatment create a path to freedom from the cycle of addiction. The community at Freedom Recovery has been designed to not only provide support during treatment, but give patients access to a community after treatment has concluded. Our facilities provide a variety of treatment services in order to provide individualized care and support. To learn more about how our programs can benefit you or a loved one feel free to contact us with questions or for more information.
We offer outpatient services for the state of Ohio. Depending on the patient’s needs, responsibilities, and lifestyle we have different programs to create the best fit possible with their individual situation. Currently we are serving Marysville, Columbus, Dayton, and Galion, Ohio.
