Day treatment and partial hospitalization (PHP)
The partial hospitalization program (PHP) is designed for patients with a mental illness or chemical dependency diagnosis who need intensive treatment but do not meet criteria for inpatient psychiatric care at mental health hospitals. A PHP allows the patient to reside at home, but they commute to a treatment center up to seven days a week. Going home after treatment each day is a critical step towards independence.
This program includes group therapy and medication management with board-certified psychiatrists, nursing education and licensed therapists. Doctors and medical staff monitor medications routinely and make adjustments as needed.Our PHP takes place Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:00pm. Lunch is provided.
