The holidays can bring out the best in us—or the habits we’ve been trying to ignore. Maybe you’ve noticed you’re reaching for that second drink sooner than usual. Or maybe you’re wondering what it would feel like to go through a whole holiday season fully present. Not struggling. Not numbing. Just… okay.

If that sounds like you, you’re not alone. You don’t need to wait for a crisis or a rock bottom to get support. At Southeast Addiction’s Partial Hospitalization Program in Peachtree Corners, we help people who are exploring sobriety—not because they have to, but because they want something different.

You deserve a holiday that feels peaceful—not performative. Here’s how PHP can help you get there.

Redefine What “Normal” Looks Like This Season

Everywhere you turn this time of year, alcohol shows up: office parties, family dinners, holiday movies with champagne-soaked endings. It’s sold as normal. But “normal” shouldn’t make you anxious the next day. It shouldn’t make you feel like you’re watching your life on mute.

Choosing to re-evaluate your drinking—or step away from it entirely—can feel like swimming against the current. A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers something rare: a supportive environment where that choice is encouraged, not questioned.

Here, you can stop asking yourself “Is it bad enough yet?” and start asking, “What would better feel like?”

Understand What a Partial Hospitalization Program Actually Offers

Let’s clear something up: PHP is not inpatient rehab. It’s a highly structured treatment program designed for people who need intensive support without the need for overnight stays.

At Southeast Addiction in Peachtree Corners, our PHP provides:

  • 5 days per week of daytime treatment (typically 6 hours per day)
  • Evidence-based therapy, including individual counseling, group sessions, and holistic practices
  • Clinical oversight to help you manage mental health concerns, trauma, anxiety, or substance use patterns
  • Daily structure that offers rhythm and purpose during a time that can otherwise feel overwhelming

You get the support of a team without stepping away from your life completely. It’s flexible. It’s focused. And it’s designed to help you understand what’s going on beneath the habits.

Step Away from the Noise Without Stepping Out of Life

For the sober curious, the holidays can feel like one long test. Can I go to that party and not drink? Will people ask questions if I say no? Do I even want to go?

PHP gives you a legitimate reason to pause—to temporarily opt out of the swirl of social pressure while still staying grounded in your own life. It’s not isolation. It’s insulation.

You come in, do the work, and return home with more clarity than you had that morning. Over time, that builds into something powerful: real change.

Rewrite Your Holidays with a Partial Hospitalization Program

Rewrite Your Holiday Traditions—With Intention

What would your holidays look like if they actually worked for you?

Maybe it’s volunteering instead of attending a boozy work party. Maybe it’s skipping the family drama for a quiet dinner with a friend. Maybe it’s walking around the Peachtree Corners Town Green with a hot cocoa and no buzz to manage.

A PHP helps you untangle what you want from what you feel obligated to do. It puts you back in the driver’s seat.

Find a Community That’s Also Questioning the Norm

Being sober curious can feel lonely—especially when your peers aren’t questioning their habits. But inside a Partial Hospitalization Program, you’re not the odd one out. You’re part of a community of people also exploring change. Some are sober. Some aren’t. But all are looking for something real.

That shared intention creates space for growth. You don’t have to explain why you’re here. You just get to be here.

“I didn’t think I was ‘bad enough’ for treatment. But this was actually the first place I felt safe asking the questions I’d been holding in for years.”

Make This the Year You Don’t Regret in January

There’s a moment in every holiday season—sometimes after a messy night, sometimes just waking up groggy—when you think, “Next year, I want it to be different.”

Why wait for next year?

Joining PHP in November or December doesn’t mean you’re missing the holidays. It means you’re choosing to protect them. To show up clear. Present. With your nervous system intact and your heart a little lighter.

And the best part? You don’t need a label to belong here. You just need the willingness to ask: What if things could feel better?

Frequently Asked Questions About PHP

What makes a Partial Hospitalization Program different from inpatient rehab?

PHP is intensive and structured, like inpatient rehab, but it allows you to go home at night. It’s ideal for people who need more support than weekly therapy, but who don’t need 24/7 medical care.

Is PHP only for people with addiction?

No. Our PHP supports people with a range of concerns—from anxiety and trauma to burnout and substance use. If you’re exploring your relationship with alcohol, you don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from treatment.

Can I still work or take care of my kids while in PHP?

PHP is a daytime commitment, so you’ll likely need to adjust your schedule. That said, many clients find ways to balance treatment with work or family responsibilities—especially with flexible support from our admissions team.

How long does PHP last?

Most people participate in PHP for 2–4 weeks, depending on their goals and progress. After PHP, many step down into our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or continue with individual therapy.

Is this confidential? I don’t want people to know I’m in treatment.

Yes. Your participation in PHP is completely confidential, and we take your privacy seriously. You don’t need to explain anything to anyone outside your support team unless you choose to.
