Mental health challenges can make everyday life feel overwhelming. When symptoms begin interfering with relationships, work, school, or daily responsibilities, a higher level of support may be necessary.
Beach House Center for Recovery's Mental Health Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides structured, intensive treatment for individuals living with mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and co-occurring disorders.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), approximately 15.4 million U.S. adults live with a serious mental illness that substantially interferes with one or more major life activities. Structured treatment programs like PHP can help individuals stabilize symptoms, develop coping skills, and build a foundation for long-term wellness.
Our campus-based environment in Juno Beach offers evidence-based therapies, medication management, and personalized care plans designed to help patients move forward with confidence.
A mental health partial hospitalization program is an intensive outpatient level of care designed for individuals who need more support than traditional weekly therapy but do not require 24-hour inpatient hospitalization.
PHP serves as an important bridge between inpatient care and outpatient treatment. Some patients enter PHP after completing mental health residential treatment, while others begin PHP when their symptoms require more support than outpatient therapy can provide.
Patients participate in structured therapeutic programming throughout the day while returning home or to supportive housing in the evening. This allows individuals to receive intensive clinical care while remaining connected to family, work responsibilities, and daily life.
PHP often includes:
The goal is to provide meaningful support while helping patients develop the tools needed for long-term mental wellness.
Mental health PHP is designed for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require round-the-clock supervision.
PHP may be appropriate for:
Many patients choose PHP because it provides intensive treatment while allowing them to remain connected to their families and support systems.
Our Mental Health PHP is designed to treat a wide range of mental health conditions.
Depression affects far more than mood. It can influence sleep, energy levels, concentration, relationships, motivation, and overall quality of life.
Through individual therapy, group counseling, medication management, and skills development, patients learn practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Anxiety disorders can cause persistent worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, sleep difficulties, and avoidance behaviors that interfere with everyday life.
Our PHP helps patients identify triggers, develop healthy coping skills, and learn evidence-based techniques to manage anxiety more effectively.
PTSD can develop following traumatic experiences and may lead to flashbacks, hypervigilance, nightmares, emotional distress, and difficulty maintaining relationships.
Our team provides trauma-informed care that helps patients process difficult experiences while building resilience and emotional regulation skills in a safe, supportive environment.
Bipolar disorder involves significant shifts in mood, energy levels, and behavior that can affect daily life and relationships.
Treatment focuses on symptom management, medication monitoring, education, and the development of practical strategies that support long-term stability.
Mental health conditions and substance use disorders frequently occur together.
Our Mental Health PHP can coordinate care with dual diagnosis treatment services when appropriate, helping patients address both conditions through an integrated treatment approach.
A structured daily schedule helps patients focus on recovery while building healthy routines.
Although each treatment plan is individualized, a typical day in PHP may include:
Patients spend much of the day engaged in therapeutic programming and return home or to supportive housing in the evening.
Our campus-based environment provides a supportive setting where patients can focus on treatment while remaining connected to their personal responsibilities and support systems.
Our Mental Health PHP utilizes evidence-based therapies tailored to each patient's needs.
Medication-assisted treatment may play an important role in mental health treatment.
Patients work closely with qualified medical professionals to monitor medications, address concerns, and ensure treatment plans remain aligned with their goals and symptoms.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps patients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress.
CBT is commonly used to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and many other mental health conditions.
Dialectical behavioral therapy helps patients improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills.
This approach can be especially helpful for individuals who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges.
Many mental health conditions are influenced by past trauma.
Our integrated trauma treatment approach recognizes the impact trauma can have on emotional well-being and provides supportive, evidence-based interventions designed to promote healing.
Motivational interviewing helps patients explore personal goals, resolve ambivalence, and strengthen motivation for change.
This collaborative approach empowers individuals to take an active role in their treatment.
Mental health challenges often affect entire families.
Family therapy and educational sessions help improve communication, strengthen support systems, and provide loved ones with tools to better understand the recovery process.
When clinically appropriate, periodic check-ins and random drug testing may be incorporated into treatment plans to support accountability and overall wellness.
Life coaching services and life skills training help patients develop practical skills related to goal setting, time management, communication, and healthy daily routines.
Patients may remain connected to the Beach House community through alumni programming and ongoing support opportunities following treatment.

PHP and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) both provide structured mental health treatment, but they differ in intensity and time commitment.
| PHP | IOP |
|---|---|
| Typically 25–35+ hours per week | Typically 9–15 hours per week |
| Daily clinical programming | Several sessions per week |
| Higher level of therapeutic support | Lower intensity support |
| Often used after residential treatment | Often used after PHP |
| Frequent psychiatric oversight | Less frequent clinical monitoring |
Patients in PHP generally require more structure and clinical support than individuals participating in IOP.
After making progress in PHP, many patients transition to IOP, outpatient therapy, or our continuing care program as part of their ongoing treatment plan.
Many major health insurance plans cover partial hospitalization programs when treatment is medically necessary.
Coverage varies depending on the insurance provider, diagnosis, and individual treatment needs. Beach House Center for Recovery works with many major insurance carriers and accepts TRICARE benefits for eligible patients.
Our admissions team can typically verify benefits quickly and explain coverage options before treatment begins.
You can verify your insurance online to learn more about your available benefits.
Mental health recovery does not end when PHP concludes.
Many patients transition to lower levels of care, including outpatient therapy, support groups, psychiatric services, and our continuing care program.
Because treatment occurs within a campus-based environment, patients often maintain meaningful connections with their support network and treatment team throughout the transition process.
This continuity of care helps create a smoother path forward and supports long-term mental wellness.
The length of PHP varies based on individual needs, treatment goals, and clinical progress. Treatment plans are regularly reviewed and adjusted as patients improve.
Because PHP requires several hours of treatment each day, maintaining a full-time work schedule may be challenging. However, some patients can continue working part-time depending on their schedule and treatment needs.
Patients should bring any required documentation, medications, identification, and materials recommended by the admissions team. Specific guidance is provided before treatment begins.
Many insurance plans cover PHP when it is medically necessary. Coverage varies by provider and plan. Our admissions team can verify benefits and explain coverage details.
If additional support becomes necessary, our clinical team can recommend a more appropriate level of care and help coordinate a safe transition.
Finding the right level of mental health care can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone.
Whether you are seeking help for yourself or a loved one, our team is available 24 hours a day to answer questions, discuss treatment options, and help determine whether mental health PHP is the right fit. Verify your insurance or contact admissions today to take the next step toward h
