Partial Hospitalization Psychiatric Treatment for Adults

Some people with mental health symptoms need more treatment than traditional outpatient services can provide but do not necessarily need an inpatient hospital stay. Other individuals may have needed the safety of an inpatient stay and now need to continue daily treatment following their return home.

Who this program treats

The Adult Partial Hospitalization Psychiatric Program at the ÃÈÂÜÉç is a short-term treatment program designed to help individuals with acute psychiatric symptoms and offers an intensive treatment option to meet those varied needs.

Services this program offers

Services of the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program include:

  • Evaluation
  • Medication management
  • Individual, family and group therapy
  • Psychiatry
  • Psychoeducational groups
  • Care planning (during treatment and at discharge)
  • Nursing

Treatment goals include:

  • Stabilizing acute psychiatric symptoms
  • Helping each person to learn and to practice how to manage his or her illness
  • Helping each person return to an optimal level of functioning
  • Reduce the need for inpatient hospitalization

Our program offers individual and group therapy, as well as medication treatment and management. After completing a day of treatment, individuals return home for the evening. This minimizes disruption to their daily routines, maintains uninterrupted support of family and friends, and facilitates learning by encouraging immediate practice of newly acquired coping skills.
