What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

PHP is a form of mental health treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions, substance abuse disorders, and dual diagnoses through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. 

PHP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. Unlike inpatient residential treatment, the partial hospitalization program option only takes place during the day, allowing clients to return home at night and on the weekends. This level of care may be helpful for those continuing studies or work in the evenings or on the weekends. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers PHP in Virginia, Washington State, and California, with both in-person and virtual treatment options to meet your unique needs.

What Does an Average Day at an AMFM Mental Health Treatment Facility Look Like?

AMFM Mental Health Treatment PHP services offer both virtual and in-person programming; PHP mental health treatment helps provide a more flexible alternative to residential treatment, with a combination of individual and group therapies meeting on weekly or bi-weekly schedules. AMFM Mental Health Treatment is committed to providing personalized mental health care plans to suit your unique needs.

Because many PHP programs are virtual, they can allow you or your loved one to continue with regularly scheduled activities, like work and/or schooling, while continuing to put your mental and emotional health at the forefront of your life. PHPs help you or your loved one to build the coping skills needed for lasting recovery in your daily lives. Mental health programming usually consists of a combination of psychotherapy modalities, including but not limited to the following:

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds2

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes3.  Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you. CBT has been proven to help with increasing mindfulness for long-term recovery.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help process emotions. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.

Family Therapy

Mental health treatment programs usually offer family support groups and resources for family members on a regular basis. At AMFM, we know that healing and growing can take a village, and you and your loved ones are in good hands.

What’s the Difference between PHP and IOP?

They’re similar, but not the same. The difference between partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient programs lies in the time and intensity. Intensive outpatient treatment is usually only a few hours a day, a step-down in terms of time commitment, while partial hospitalization services usually take up the majority of the day. Both are outpatient therapy programs to encourage and enable behavioral growth and healing. 

Inpatient vs. PHP Treatment Programs

Inpatient Treatment usually refers to live-in 24/7 residential mental health treatment services, while PHP refers to mental health programming in an outpatient setting that’s limited to a certain number of hours a day, with clients returning home in the evenings and on the weekends. Inpatient hospitalization tends to provide a higher level of care, due to the around-the-clock nature of the programming, and may be helpful for those with more intense mental health or physical health needs. 

 

However, both inpatient and PHP treatment plans with AMFM Mental Health Treatment offer a high standard of care and attention, thorough programming, psychiatry assistance and medication management, and upon exit, relapse prevention strategies.
