Partial Hospital Program (PHP) / Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
The Partial Hospital Program and Intensive Outpatient Program offers short-term, intensive, highly structured behavioral health therapy programs.

The Partial Hospital Program is geared towards individuals in need of ongoing intensive treatment after a hospital admission, or because they may be at risk for hospitalization. The program is available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The Intensive Outpatient Program is a similar, but less intensive program. The program is available for three hours a day, up to five days a week. In both programs, group therapy is the primary mode of treatment.
