At our center, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive treatment option designed to provide comprehensive psychiatric and therapeutic care during the day, while allowing clients the freedom to return home in the evenings. This structure supports those who require more support than traditional outpatient care offers but do not need round-the-clock supervision.
PHPs offer numerous benefits including structured support, access to daily therapeutic sessions, and the ability to maintain a semblance of normal daily life. Clients in a PHP receive personalized care, including medication management, individual therapy, group sessions, and complementary holistic approaches that address the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
In a PHP, clients spend several hours, typically five to seven days a week, at our facility. The focus is on intensive treatment, skill-building, and stabilization, crucial for managing acute symptoms of mental health conditions or substance use disorders. Evenings and weekends are spent at home, allowing clients to practice skills in a real-world environment while supported by our team.
Austin, being a hub for comprehensive mental health services, offers various options for those seeking PHP care. Our center, located in the heart of Austin, is easily accessible and provides a serene setting conducive to healing and recovery. When looking for a PHP, consider the program’s accreditation, the qualifications of the staff, and the types of therapy offered.
Intensity and Setting
Unlike residential treatment, PHP allows clients to receive intensive care during the day without an overnight stay. Compared to standard outpatient services, PHP provides a higher level of care with more hours of treatment per week, making it ideal for those transitioning from inpatient care or those needing more support.
The cost of PHP varies based on the length of stay, types of services provided, and insurance coverage. Our center is committed to providing affordable care and works with a variety of insurance providers to minimize out-of-pocket costs for our clients. Financial assistance and payment plans may also be available to ensure access to those in need.
Effectiveness is assessed through individual progress, reduction in symptoms, and improved ability to function in daily life. Our program’s success is evidenced by our clients’ achievements: returning to work, engaging in healthy relationships, and maintaining sobriety. Continuous evaluation ensures treatment adjustments are made as needed to support ongoing recovery.
The duration of PHP varies according to individual needs, typically ranging from two to six weeks. Ongoing assessments ensure that the length of stay is tailored to provide the most benefit, allowing clients to transition to less intensive care as they meet their treatment goals.
Our PHP provides a diverse array of therapeutic modalities, including:
These therapies are delivered by our team of licensed professionals and are selected based on their evidence-based effectiveness in treating mental health and substance use disorders.
