Full Day Treatment for Adults
Branches Dunwoody’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a full day outpatient program for patients dealing with mental or emotional disorders. This program provides help through integrative treatment plans that are coordinated, intensive and comprehensive. PHP outpatient services help those transitioning out of inpatient care and those needing more support that traditional outpatient treatment.
What is a PHP?
A Partial Hospitalization Program is a full day adult outpatient program where patients meet throughout the day and are finished with treatment in the afternoon. Partial Hospitalization Programs can be for mental health, addiction treatment or even co-occurring disorders.
What is a co-occurring disorder?
Dual Diagnosis treatment is for co-occurring disorders, or a mental health disorder and substance abuse at the same time. A mental health issue can often be the root cause of an addiction, and treatment programs that do not address both needs can often fall short of getting a patient the help they need.
Some benefits of dual diagnosis include:
- Substance use treatment
- Mental health treatment
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Medication management
How long does the program last?
The average length of an adult PHP stay varies from two to six weeks, depending on your individualized progress, and includes four group therapy sessions as well as a short wrap-up session. While therapy in a group setting is the primary mode of treatment, patients also have two individual sessions per week with their assigned provider. Full day treatment offers a 5, 6, or 7 day a week treatment model from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., with lunch provided.
