Adult Partial Hospitalization

Our Adult Partial Hospitalization Program is a short-term treatment for stabilizing mental health symptoms that have gotten significantly worse and are affecting safety or daily functioning. This program helps to reduce symptoms so that patients ages 18 years and older can resume functioning and be more successful in outpatient treatment. It can often be a good alternative to, or transition from, an inpatient psychiatric admission.

  • Motivated to take part in a group-based treatment setting on a daily basis for one to two weeks
