PHP Housing for Partial Hospitalization

Partial Hospitalization Program care is an intensive outpatient level of treatment, while residential treatment provides a more immersive living environment with comprehensive support. PHP may be appropriate for adults who need structured clinical care but do not require residential services. Residential treatment may better fit people needing greater supervision, daily support, or a more contained setting. An assessment helps determine the appropriate level of care.

Mental health PHP typically combines structured clinical programming with therapeutic support during the day while allowing a client to live in a supportive setting outside traditional inpatient hospitalization. At Alter Behavioral Health, treatment may include CBT, DBT, EMDR, family therapy, psychiatric support, and individualized therapeutic approaches for mental health, trauma, and substance use concerns. Program recommendations are based on each client’s clinical needs.
