Partial Hospitalization Program in Fresno County, CA

Benefits of Partial Hospitalization Programs

The most common benefit of a partial hospitalization program is that it provides many of the care and treatment services offered in inpatient treatment without requiring the person to live at the facility.

Beyond that, there are a number of potential benefits of partial hospitalization that make it an effective treatment option for many individuals. Some of these include:

• Intensive Care: Participants in a PHP have access to comprehensive therapeutic services, such as group therapy, and family therapy for addiction medication management.
• Cost: Since participants don’t live at the facility, a PHP often costs less than inpatient care and provides access to treatment for people that may not otherwise be able to access support.
• Structured Environment: Partial hospitalization provides a consistent routine that works to help people focus on their recovery.
• Continuity of Care: A PHP provides a smooth transition between the levels of care, reducing the risk of relapse. Patients are supported throughout their transition by dedicated case managers.
• Flexible Frequency: The frequency of sessions in a partial hospitalization program treatment plan can be adjusted as the individual progresses. This allows for a gradual decrease in the frequency of care if needed.

Who Can Benefit from a PHP?

When it comes to choosing the right treatment program, treatment professionals will sit down with each individual and recommend a treatment option based on the results of their evaluation. This evaluation process helps determine the best path for each person, ensuring their unique needs are met.

That being said, the following are people who may benefit from a partial hospitalization program the most:

• People who may benefit from inpatient treatment, but are unable to live at the facility
• People who are transitioning from an inpatient to an outpatient program
• People who require a high level of care, but do not need 24-hour supervision and desire a guided path to recovery.
• People with a mental health condition that can benefit from dual-diagnosis support as they transition back to “normal life.”

Types of Therapies Offered in PHP

We offer a number of specialized therapies designed to address the unique needs of the individual and their struggles with mental health and addiction.
