What Is Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and How Can It Help?

If you or a loved one is struggling with mental health issues, you may have heard about partial hospitalization (PHP) as a treatment option. But what exactly is PHP, and how can it help? 

What Is Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers structured intensive outpatient mental health treatment tailored to address serious mental health issues. It involves different healthcare providers, such as therapists and psychiatrists. You might choose a PHP program specific to your diagnosis, like trauma disorder, eating disorder, or OCD. 

Who Can Benefit From PHP?

Healthcare professionals often recommend PHP programs for individuals facing significant mental health challenges that demand intensive support. If weekly outpatient sessions or psychiatrist appointments aren’t adequately managing your symptoms, consider PHP as the next step in your treatment.

Sometimes, a PHP serves as an alternative to being hospitalized. It can also serve as a transitional phase post-hospitalization or residential treatment. 

Clients in our partial hospitalization program, or day treatment, often take part in our transitional living program at the same time.

The Benefits of Partial Hospitalization

Here are the partial hospitalization benefits, such as:

• Regular access to medical and behavioral health professionals, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and psychologists.

• Greater affordability compared to inpatient care.

• Potential for extended insurance coverage, allowing for a more prolonged period of care.

• Facilitates a gradual and secure transition from inpatient treatment to everyday life.

• Provides an opportunity for individuals to apply the skills they learn in treatment to real-world situations.

• Flexible scheduling enables individuals to maintain employment, attend school, or fulfill family responsibilities.

• Access to a diverse range of specialists and experts who lead highly effective educational sessions.
