When is going to a Partial Hospital Program (PHP) the right choice? Let’s first begin explaining
what a Partial Hospital Program entails. A Partial Hospital Program (PHP) is a mental health solution defined as “a time-limited, ambulatory, active treatment program that offers therapeutic all intensive, coordinated, and structured clinical services within a stable therapeutic milieu.” It is an alternative to hospitalization and combines the best facets of inpatient care (structure and intense care) with the best of outpatient care (scheduling flexibility and lower cost). This type program allows patients the mobility and freedom to maintain home and social life and daily routines, while also maintaining work or school responsibilities. Let’s now look a little deeper into various age programs and discuss who might benefit from a PHP program
