Adult Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Adult Partial Hospitalization Program

Adult PHP is a group-based, voluntary program that support individuals in their recovery. Our programs are abstinence based.  Our treatment program is time-limited and offers intensive, coordinated, and structured clinical services within a safe and stable therapeutic environment. Our goal is to assist patients in achieving the highest level of independence.

Group participation is the primary therapeutic treatment modality. The program integrates psycho-educational, psycho-therapeutic, and activity-based groups to foster hope, self-determination, and empowerment in the healing process. While in the program, patients develop effective coping resources and interpersonal skills to support successful life in the community.

Patients will meet with their primary therapist and psychiatrist on a weekly basis, and if clinically indicated patients may also have family meetings.

Patients may opt to spend their OT session time completing “adulting” tasks such as: paying bills, completing paperwork, resume writing, or email management. Finally, patients may choose to explore volunteer opportunities, leisure activities, hobbies, or engage in job searching, and work preparation activities.
