Partial Hospitalization Services
Partial hospitalization is available for children, adolescents or adults who need more help than seeing a mental health professional weekly, but do not need around-the-clock inpatient hospitalization.
Treatment Approach
Treatment is flexible and can be provided around work/school activities, based on your needs. Treatment includes but is not limited to individual and group education and therapy.Through these methods you increase your communication, assertiveness, relaxation and problem solving skills, gain training in symptom management and learn to effectively cope with identified stressors.
You also will benefit from supplemental therapeutic activities, such as recreation and social activities, support network enhancement and family meetings.
At admission, you will receive a complete evaluation. The interdisciplinary team develops an individualized treatment plan which involves you and your family.
Team members include a psychiatrist, attending physician, nurses, recreational therapists, chemical dependency counselors, dietitians, psychiatric social workers, pharmacist, teachers and chaplains. If you have special needs identified by the physician and/or team, professionals with training in other specialty areas are available.
Who benefits
This service is most appropriate for individuals who:
- Are ready for discharge from inpatient treatment but need daily monitoring, support and ongoing therapy.
- Have a supportive network of friends and family to help maintain the person within a least-restrictive treatment environment.
- Have psychiatric symptoms of such severity that the individual is at risk and requires the intensity, but not the restrictiveness, of 24-hour care. The patient may have difficulty coping with problems and daily activities, be unusually sad, restless, anxious or fatigued, have significant mood swings or experience a marked change in eating and sleeping habits.
- Are able to actively participate in all phases of the program.
- (For child/adolescent patients) have a family, guardian or custodian able to provide support and monitoring during non-program hours and be involved in treatment.
