A Partial Hospitalization Program is a structured, day-long mental health treatment option that bridges the gap between inpatient mental health treatment and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).
Patients participate in therapy and evidence-based treatments for several hours a day, typically five to six days a week, then return home in the evening.
As part of the mental health treatment continuum, PHP offers a high level of clinical support without requiring an overnight stay.
Research published in the Community Mental Health Journal highlights that individual factors, such as prior hospitalizations and age at admission, can influence outcomes in partial hospitalization programs, underscoring the importance of personalized treatment planning.
As part of the mental health treatment continuum, PHP offers a high level of clinical support without requiring an overnight stay.
A mental health PHP is ideal for adults who need more support than weekly therapy sessions but do not require the 24-hour supervision of inpatient care.
This level of treatment can help people manage:
Patients often enter PHP after completing a higher level of care, such as inpatient mental health treatment, or when their symptoms are too disruptive for standard outpatient therapy but do not warrant hospitalization.
When you enter the partial hospitalization program at Beach House Center for Recovery, you’ll find a structured yet supportive environment designed to provide daily therapeutic care while allowing you the freedom to return home each evening.
Below, we outline what you can expect.
Every patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation by our licensed clinicians. This includes a mental health history, a review of current symptoms, and a discussion of treatment goals.
The information guides a personalized plan designed to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Healing extends beyond talk therapy.

These integrated resources work alongside evidence-based therapies in the partial hospitalization program to support whole-person healing.
A partial hospitalization program provides more structure and clinical support than standard outpatient therapy, yet it is less restrictive than inpatient care.
PHP serves as an important step-down level of treatment for people who no longer need 24-hour supervision but still benefit from daily, intensive therapy.
Inpatient mental health treatment offers round-the-clock medical and psychiatric care for individuals experiencing acute symptoms or crisis situations.
PHP delivers many of the same evidence-based therapies and medical oversight during the day, but allows patients to return home or to supportive housing each evening.
This arrangement gives patients more independence while still providing the high level of support needed for recovery.
Intensive outpatient programs typically meet three to five days per week for a few hours at a time.
PHP requires a fuller daily schedule, generally five to six days per week, for most of the day, offering greater structure, more frequent therapy sessions, and closer medical monitoring.
This makes PHP an ideal middle ground for patients who need more than IOP can provide but no longer require inpatient care.
Choosing the right treatment center can make all the difference in recovery.
At Beach House Center for Recovery, our PHP combines clinical excellence with compassionate, whole-person care to help patients heal and thrive.
