“Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.”

The Adult Partial Hospitalization Program is a day treatment

program specifically designed for the diagnosis and treatment

of a mental disorder when there is reasonable expectation for

improvement or when it is necessary to maintain a patient’s

functional level and prevent relapse or full hospitalization.

It is a voluntary program that may shorten the length of stay in

the hospital or serve as a transition from inpatient to outpatient

care for some patients.

The Adult Partial Hospitalization Program is a short-term

treatment program that is group based. A multidisciplinary

team facilitates care in the program.
