Our day treatment program is a short-term program for adolescents who are able to live safely in a supportive home environment during the evenings and on weekends. Day treatment is often a step-down program for adolescents who are moving from an inpatient hospitalization program or stepping up from traditional outpatient therapy; however, you can also admit directly into PHP by scheduling an assessment with our admissions team. The day treatment program teaches coping and living skills to our clients. We also address personal responsibility and positive interactions within the school, family, and community.
