What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Mental Health?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive, structured outpatient treatment program for mental health. It offers a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy but grants the freedom to return home at night every day.

In a PHP, clients engage in a multidisciplinary team approach to care with therapists and psychiatrists to target specific mental health diagnoses. Programs may be diagnosis-specific, including trauma disorders, eating disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

PHPs in Nuview are diagnosed-based, tailored to specific mental health issues, and usually run for 3 to 5 days per week from a few to several weeks, depending on the condition, helping clients transition smoothly from intensive care to everyday life.

What is the difference between PHP and IOP?

The primary difference between a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is the level of care and time commitment. 

A PHP is more intensive in treatment hours, including 4-8 hours per day, 5 days a week, whereas an IOP involves 2 to 4 hours per day, 3-5 days per week. PHP offers more support; therefore, it is highly suitable for those who require more structured care.

What is the difference between Partial And Inpatient Hospitalization

A key difference between partial versus inpatient hospitalization is that inpatient hospitalization requires 24-hour care in the hospital, whereas in partial hospitalization, clients are allowed to return home each night. 

Comparatively, inpatient stays tend to be shorter, such as averaging 5-6 days, whereas with a PHP, people can receive ongoing support for several weeks or months while they continue some of their routine daily life.

When to Seek Professional Help

You may consider professional help if you think that mental health issues have become chronic and have started to interfere with your everyday life. Examples include being unable to function right at work or school, feeling overwhelming anxiety, or having depression and substance use issues.

If you feel like you're struggling to manage these issues alone, seeking help early can prevent conditions from worsening and provide the necessary support to regain control over your life.
