Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) gives patients with severe mental health concerns more options for healing. Adolescents and adults receive intensive programming on weekdays and go home evenings and weekends. We help more patients achieve treatment goals while avoiding full admission so they can live a full, productive life.

Who Is Our Partial Hospitalization Program For?

PHP is for people who require intensive therapy but are stable enough to be in their environment or in the community for limited periods. If you have an urgent need for assistance between sessions, our experienced mental and behavioral health professionals offer around-the-clock support whenever necessary. 

We have day treatment programs for adolescents age 12-17, and adult programs for those 18+. Our care helps people struggling with:

• Academic failure, interpersonal and social problems
• Irritability, mood fluctuations
• Though disturbance, psychosis
• Trauma related issues such as sexual, physical and emotional abuse
• Severe mood
• Suicidal thoughts or attempts

Where to Begin
