PHP is a structured day treatment program that includes therapy, medication management, and family involvement. It's a step below inpatient hospitalization in intensity, without requiring 24/7 care and allowing clients to return home every evening.
PHP at PRI is for adolescents (13-18) and young adults (18-25) who need daily structured support for mental health or substance use concerns but don't require 24-hour inpatient hospitalization or residential care.
Length of program depends on each client's individual needs and progress. Our team reassesses regularly and works with families and individuals on a plan for stepping down to a lower level of care when appropriate.
