The Adult Partial and Acute Partial Hospital Program, located in the East Pavilion,
are designed to benefit those who need a higher level of care than out-patient treatment
but whose symptoms do not warrant in-patient treatment. This program is also ideal
for clients ages 18 and older and their families who suffer from emotional and behavioral
health challenges, who need to transition from in-patient psychiatric care to their
community. Clients attend daily group therapy, as well as, a variety of psycho educational
groups that focus on skill building, identification and management of mental illness
symptoms.
The Partial Hospital Program is the most intensive out-patient mental health treatment
service available. It provides up to 6 hours of therapy each weekday. Each Partial
Hospital patient is evaluated by both Partial Hospital staff and a psychiatrist,
so that an individualized treatment plan can be developed to meet the specific needs
of the patient. Patients are encouraged to attend all five days. Specific programs
are tailored to the needs of the young adult, the older adult and individuals actively
preparing to return to work and to the community.
A compassionate and skilled staff including psychiatrists, therapists and social
workers partner with each client and their family to assess medication efficacy,
determine individual strengths and needs and develop healthy coping skills to restore
the client’s sense of well-being and hopefulness for the future. Services include:
- Individualized Recovery Planning
- Psychosocial Assessments
- Therapy (Individual, Group and Family)
- Psychiatric Evaluations
- On-going Medication Monitoring
- Annual Nursing Health Assessment
Positive change is most often initiated and perpetuated through the family, which
is why the Adult Partial and Acute Partial Hospital Program encourages parents and
other adults to be involved in family therapy sessions. All individuals and their
families are empowered to become aware of their needs and how to address each of
these needs and preferences. Through ongoing counseling and as needed medication
monitoring, each patient collaborates with his/her treating psychiatric physician
and psychotherapist in addressing their individualized needs and in achieving emotional
wellness and recovery.
