Other individuals may have needed the safety of an inpatient stay and now need to continue daily treatment following their return home.
The Adult Partial Hospitalization Psychiatric Program at the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute is a short-term treatment program designed to help individuals with acute psychiatric symptoms and offers an intensive treatment option to meet those varied needs.
Services of the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program include:
Treatment goals include:
Our program offers individual and group therapy, as well as medication treatment and management. After completing a day of treatment, individuals return home for the evening. This minimizes disruption to their daily routines, maintains uninterrupted support of family and friends, and facilitates learning by encouraging immediate practice of newly acquired coping skills.
