PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM FOR ADULTSThe partial hospitalization program provides structured, time-limited,
group oriented, intensive outpatient treatment. It is designed to treat
adults aged 18 years and older experiencing the acute symptoms of significant
psychiatric disorders, such as depression, anxiety, thought disorders
and other problems that interfere with a person's ability to engage in
normal daily activities.
Partial hospitalization provides appropriate, cost-effective treatment
in the least restrictive setting possible to avoid inpatient hospitalization
whenever possible. The clinical program offers interventions in a reassuring
and helpful environment that strives to reflect and support the community
it serves. It also helps patients transition to lower levels of care as
they respond to treatment and gain increased levels of self-sufficiency.
Program services include:
Multi-disciplinary treatment teams that involve the patient, family members
and care givers in the design and implementation of
individualized plans of care;
Group therapy sessions that focus on symptom identification and coping
skills, education about medications and other treatment
options, and social and communications skills;
Group therapy sessions that emphasize nonverbal means of expression to
assist those who are experiencing difficulty putting their feelings and
problems into words;
Group-therapy sessions that broaden participants' understanding of resources
within their communities and how to successfully access the services
they need;
Discharge
and after-care planning to assist in the continued healing and personal
growth of each patient.
