Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Laguna Hills residents
Our Partial Hospitalization Program runs out of the Laguna Hills facility itself, which makes it the most accessible full-day level of care for residents of the city. PHP provides hospital-level structure during the day while you return home each evening.
Last updated:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is full-day outpatient program, 5 days/week, for high-acuity care without an overnight stay. It runs 5 days/week, ~5–6 hours/day, and is one of four levels of care we offer along a continuum from full-day PHP down to weekly aftercare.
Key takeaways
- PHP runs 5 days/week, ~5–6 hours/day.
- Laguna Hills residents attend at our local facility on 23297 S Pointe Dr.
- We treat mental-health and co-occurring substance use together, by the same team, in one program.
- Insurance verification is free and confidential, with no referral required to start.
Why PHP works for Laguna Hills
A full-day program asks a lot of a daily commute, so being headquartered in Laguna Hills is a practical advantage for local residents — the short trip on Paseo de Valencia keeps a five-day-a-week schedule sustainable in a way that a program in Irvine or Newport Beach often is not.
PHP at Manifest typically runs five to six hours a day, five days a week. The day combines psychiatric care, individual therapy, and multiple group sessions, and is designed either as a step-down from an inpatient stay or as a step-up when weekly therapy and IOP are not holding symptoms.
For Laguna Hills adults managing severe depression, acute anxiety or panic, trauma-related symptoms, bipolar stabilization, or co-occurring substance use, PHP delivers the intensity of treatment that those situations need without an overnight hospital admission.
We are not a medical detox. If supervised withdrawal is needed first, we coordinate a referral to a detox partner and welcome you back into PHP here on S Pointe Dr afterward. Insurance verification is free, and our team explains your likely out-of-pocket cost before you start.

Manifest is an outpatient program — not a medical detox or residential facility; when supervised withdrawal is needed first, we coordinate a referral.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is part of a connected continuum of care. Many adults move between levels as their needs change — stepping up to PHP from weekly therapy, or stepping down to it after a more intensive level.
