Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program
The Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a day treatment program that serves children and adolescents – ages 9 to 17 years old – and is ideal for adolescents who have recently been hospitalized or those who require structured treatment and psychiatric support.
This daily therapeutic program helps adolescents who are struggling from mood, behavioral and/or substance abuse problems impacting their ability to function at home and/or at school. The multidisciplinary treatment team develops individualized treatment plans which address daily functioning, self-esteem and boundary issues, family dynamics, and abusive behaviors.
PHP consists of a family session, 5 groups sessions daily, 5 days per week for a minimum of 20 programming hours. Patients will receive weekly individual sessions with a therapist, individual sessions with a psychiatrist for medication management, and daily group therapy. A registered nurse is on site daily.
