Partial Hospitalization Program

Our mission is to provide state-of-the-art psychiatric services that match individual need with specialized care. This care entails a range of group psychotherapies, individual psychotherapy, family therapy and medication management. We value a patient-centered focus that uses respect and compassion to empower patients to maximize their own potential.

The Partial Hospitalization Program is a short-term treatment designed to help individuals with acute psychiatric problems. It is available five days a week and individuals attend six hours per day. The duration of treatment averages 4 to 5 days. Our program offers group, individual and couples/family psychotherapy, as well as medication treatment. Our partial hospital is small by design. The daily census ranges from 12 to 15 individuals. This enables us to offer more individualized care and smaller, more intimate therapy groups. (Studies have found that treatment is optimized by groups of this size.)

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.
