About Our Partial Hospitalization Program
The PHP schedule creates repeated opportunities to practice skills, discuss barriers, and adjust the treatment plan. Group care, individual support, family involvement when appropriate, and transition planning are coordinated across the week. Psychiatric support, including a general medication review when necessary, is integrated with therapeutic interventions.
Mental Health Focus — Structured clinical contact for adults whose symptoms are significantly affecting daily functioning.
Recovery Focus — Support for substance use concerns, relapse vulnerability, and stability between treatment days.
Integrated Focus — Coordinated treatment when mental health and substance use needs occur together.
Approaches may include CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, and EMDR when clinically appropriate. The clinical team selects interventions according to individualized needs rather than promising the same modality to every participant.
