Partial Hospitalization Program
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is designed for adults and children (ages 7-17) with primary psychiatric disorders who require intensive support and structure but not 24-hour inpatient care.
The program provides support and treatment for adults facing emotional or mental difficulties, and who may have substance abuse problems. Partial hospitalization is an outpatient program for the diagnosis and/or active treatment of a serious mental disorder in a consistent, structured environment that allows patients to maintain their usual living arrangements with their families.
A PHP can function as a “step down” from hospitalization or a “step up” when outpatient treatment is not effectively meeting the patient’s needs. It is also a good transition from inpatient to outpatient care.
The level of care provided in a PHP is necessary to maintain the patient’s progress and prevent relapse or readmission to the hospital.
PHP is designed for those who do not require the intensity of a hospital setting but are still having some emotional or behavioral issues that need to be addressed more intensely than what can be provided in a traditional outpatient setting.
Adults in this program meet from 8:30am – 1:00pm 5 days a week, Monday – Friday, Treatment is usually from one to three weeks, depending on the person’s progress.
