Partial Hospitalization Program

Adult Partial Hospitalization

An adult who requires intensive support and structure but does not require 24 hour supervision may be appropriate for partial hospitalization, an intensive day hospital program. This level of care may be appropriate when outpatient treatment is not sufficient to meet the level of acuity, or as a transition from inpatient treatment to help reintegrate the individual into a home environment. Resolution and stabilization of acute illness are provided while allowing the patient to live at home. Patients participate in the inpatient hospital program during daytime hours, Monday through Friday.
