It’s ideal for those with severe or ongoing mental health symptoms needing intensive (24/7) and immediate care. Admissions requires a primary psychiatric diagnosis by a physician and the program typically lasts 5 to 7 days.Step Down to a PHP programFor those who do not need 24/7 support, their partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides care 5 days a week during the day for 7 to 12 weeks. Patients balance treatment with outside life and return home each evening.Achieve Personal Goals Through a Strengths-Based ApproachA strengths-based treatment approach encourages patients to identify and make the most use of their inherent strengths to meet their goals.
