The Partial Hospitalization Program is an alternative to inpatient care in that individuals participate in structured therapy programs during the day and spend the night at home. Treatment plans are designed by a multi-disciplinary team and include both individual and group counseling as well as medication management. Some individuals enter the program directly and others transition from inpatient stay. Treatment may last from several weeks to a few months.
