What is Partial Hospitalization Program Treament?

What is Day Treatment?

Day treatment, also known as Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), is often the level of care that teens and young adults will step down into after completing a residential treatment.

Through the use of a variety of therapeutic methods, clients are able to stabilize, begin to understand their addiction and mental health struggles, and heal from them.

We strive to help teens and young adults become more like the person they want to be, without using substances to get there.

Partial Hospitalization Programming For Teens and Young Adults

Who typically comes to day treatment?

We support teens and young adults struggling with substance abuse and mental health disorders who need significant structure to help support stabilization. Usually, they have either temporarily left school or employment, are in transition between schools or jobs, or looking to finish out of school online or pursue their GED, or graduate college.

For teens who require more structure and support than our outpatient day treatment program can provide, we recommend teen residential treatment centers.

For young adults who need support we recommend our our transitional living programs when can be attended while in day treatment programming.

Age-Specific Care

We are age-specific, not gender-specific. We focus on the unique circumstances that teens and young adults face.

Evidence-Based Therapy

We only use treatment interventions that have been scientifically proven to provide consistent, lasting recovery.

Small Group Sizes

You are not a number, that’s why we provide a comfortable setting where your voice can be heard.

Individualized Treatment Plans

No one person is the same, and neither is their recovery journey. Your treatment program will be tailored to your unique needs.

Academic and Vocational Support

We want clients to get the most out of life, which means doing their best in the classroom or at their job.

The Family Component

Recovery involves the entire family, so we provide support for the whole family system.

Family Involvement

When a teen is struggling with substance abuse or mental health, it doesn’t just affect them, it affects the entire family unit. We believe that it’s important for the entire family to receive support, not just the individual struggling with substance abuse. Clients will be seen on a bi-weekly basis for family therapy sessions with a licensed therapist to address any family dynamics and provide support to the whole family system.
