Our Services
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Children & Adolescents
A structured, intensive outpatient behavioral health service providing comprehensive, short-term treatment exclusively for children and adolescents with acute psychiatric or substance use needs.
Program Description
Comprehensive, short-term treatment
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured, intensive outpatient behavioral health service that provides comprehensive, short-term treatment for children and adolescents experiencing acute psychiatric or substance use symptoms that significantly impair functioning but do not require 24-hour inpatient care. The program is designed to stabilize psychiatric symptoms, reduce substance use behaviors, and prevent hospitalization or re-hospitalization.
We specialize exclusively in care for children and adolescents and our services are recognized by DMAS and DBHDS as medically necessary for young people with serious mental illness (SMI), serious emotional disturbance (SED), and/or co-occurring disorders. Care is delivered by an interdisciplinary team of licensed and credentialed professionals and includes individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy.
