A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a structured step between inpatient hospitalization and outpatient care. It offers intensive support for people who face serious mental health issues. Our PHP mental health treatment program creates a safe, therapeutic environment where you receive focused treatment while maintaining connections to home and community life.
A Partial Hospitalization Program includes a treatment plan with several types of therapy, such as group therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy. You participate in sessions that address your mental health needs and help you build effective coping strategies. We may also include evidence-based methods like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation and behavior control.
You attend PHP sessions for several hours each day, usually five days per week. This schedule provides concentrated care while giving you time at home each evening. Our treatment team includes mental health professionals who work together to track progress and update goals as needed. This approach keeps the plan focused on your recovery.
People who face severe mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, or eating disorders often find support through PHP. Adolescents who need more care than outpatient treatment provides, but who do not need inpatient hospitalization, often do well in our adolescent program. We shape care to match developmental needs and emotional challenges.
PHP also works well for people leaving inpatient care who want structured support to maintain recovery. You continue working on treatment goals in a supervised setting while applying your coping tools in daily life. PHP gives you space to grow stronger while staying connected to your usual environment.
“Mental health… is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.”

A PHP schedule includes daily therapy and wellness activities. Group therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy form the core of each day. You join discussions that build trust and support among peers. These group connections help reduce isolation and encourage mutual support. We also include psychoeducation to help you understand your condition and treatment.
The program typically runs full-day sessions. This consistency supports progress and reinforces healthy routines. Our team remains present to monitor your progress, answer questions, and adjust the treatment plan to fit your needs. You receive personalized attention throughout your time in PHP.
PHP provides tools to help you manage mental health symptoms and build long-term stability. You work through therapy sessions that help you explore root causes and shape new thought patterns. Each activity encourages insight, emotional regulation, and personal accountability.
We involve families in care when possible. Family therapy sessions improve communication and rebuild support at home. Stronger relationships increase your success during and after treatment. With guidance from professionals and encouragement from peers and loved ones, you move toward recovery with greater clarity and confidence.
A Partial Hospitalization Program gives more structure than outpatient treatment but does not require overnight stays. You receive therapy and medical support during the day and return home each night. In contrast, inpatient care provides constant monitoring and supervision, which some people may need during a mental health crisis.
PHP works well for people who need intensive care but do not need 24-hour supervision. It supports independence while still providing a high level of care. This balance helps many adolescents and adults maintain progress after leaving inpatient settings. PHP also helps those who need more support than outpatient programs offer.
