Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Mental Illness

Unlike residential or inpatient treatment, where patients live at the facility while receiving care, the Partial Hospitalization Program for Mental Health at Banyan offers a more relaxed environment that still features full-time therapeutic programming. Our PHP mental health care is often utilized as a step-down level of care after a patient has completed residential programming, but can also serve as a direct admission for those who meet the necessary clinical and medical criteria.

What is a Partial Hospitalization Program?

Partial hospitalization program for mental health is a structured program that runs for several hours a day, three to five days a week. Unlike our residential mental health program, patients in our PHP for mental health participate in several scheduled treatment sessions a week during the day and return to their homes at night. This part of the program is available for patients who have completed the inpatient part of their program.

Check with your insurance provider first, or if you need help with this, our team will be more than happy to help.

The goal of this program is to provide structured, intensive treatment while allowing patients to return home at night. It serves as a step-down level of care after residential treatment or as a direct admission option for those who meet specific criteria. The program aims to help patients transition back to their everyday routines while still receiving comprehensive therapeutic support.

This program may be a good option for people with moderate-to-severe mental health conditions who need more support than outpatient therapy can provide. The first step is to participate in a clinical assessment. This is an evaluation of your condition and your symptoms to ultimately decide which form of treatment will be most beneficial.
