Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides the same level of intensive treatment offered in a residential program while allowing your adolescent to remain at home on nights and weekends. Through a PHP, your adolescent gets the best of both worlds: a safe, caring, supportive therapeutic community and the emotional support they need from family and friends. Your adolescent can benefit from a PHP if:

• They are transitioning out of residential treatment.
• They refuse to participate in outpatient treatment.
• Outpatient treatment is not providing a high enough level of treatment.
• They have increasing difficulty maintaining daily responsibilities.
• They are self-harming or engaging in destructive behaviors.
• They are unable to maintain healthy relationships with family or friends.
• School performance is suffering because of symptoms or school refusal.

At Orlando Treatment Solutions, we know that your adolescent’s mental health affects the entire family. So, our PHP provides treatment for the whole family, including education, therapy, and community support groups.

What Happens In A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

The first step of treatment is to meet with our treatment team to determine which program best suits your teenager’s needs. Then a comprehensive mental health assessment, including a medication assessment and physical exam, will provide a fuller picture of your adolescent’s needs so that our team can develop an individualized treatment plan. Our PHP runs from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Education about mental health is a critical component of treatment so that adolescents can learn to manage their mental health disorders to reduce symptoms. Other elements of treatment include:

• Individual therapy
• Group therapy
• Medication management
• Behavior modification programs
• Tutoring and education
• Family therapy
• Life skills training

Your adolescent’s specific therapies will depend upon their unique needs. All adolescents in our PHP learn coping skills, communication skills, and problem-solving skills to manage their mental health better to reduce their symptoms and risky behaviors. Guided group therapy sessions are an integral part of our PHP because peer connections and community support are vital to successful treatment.
