Healing by Day, Home by Night

Finding the right balance between intensive mental health care and daily life can feel overwhelming. At Hope’s Destiny, our Partial Hospitalization Program offers that middle ground—providing comprehensive support for adolescents and adults while allowing you to return home each evening. It’s where structured, professional care meets the comfort of maintaining your regular routine.

What Is PHP?

A Partial Hospitalization Program represents our highest level of outpatient care, offering structured, intensive treatment while allowing you to maintain your connection to home and family. This program bridges the gap between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services, providing robust support for those managing complex mental health challenges and co-occurring disorders.

Our PHP operates five days per week, with participants attending treatment for a minimum of 25 hours. Each day includes a full schedule of therapeutic activities designed to promote healing and build essential coping skills. Whether you’re managing depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, or other mental health conditions—possibly alongside substance use challenges—our program provides the comprehensive care you need.

The program offers the intensity and structure of inpatient care during the day while allowing you to practice new skills and maintain important relationships at home each evening. This balance helps you build confidence in managing symptoms while gradually applying therapeutic techniques to real-world situations.

What You Can Expect

Your healing journey with us begins with two key steps: a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment and a thorough psychiatric evaluation. During these initial assessments, our experienced clinical team will take the time to understand your complete story—including your mental health history, any substance use concerns, medical needs, current challenges, and personal goals. This detailed evaluation process helps us create a treatment plan that’s uniquely tailored to your situation.

If you’re experiencing an immediate crisis, our first priority is your safety and stabilization. We provide focused support and crisis intervention services to help you regain your emotional balance before transitioning into the full program.

Your daily schedule in PHP will be structured yet flexible, typically including:

• Morning check-ins to assess your emotional state and set daily goals
• A mix of individual and group therapy sessions throughout the day
• Skills-building workshops focused on practical coping strategies
• Regular meetings with our psychiatric team for medication management
• Therapeutic activities that promote both emotional expression and healing
• Nutritional support and wellness education
• Afternoon reflection periods to process the day’s experiences

Throughout your time in the program, you’ll work closely with a dedicated treatment team that will regularly adjust your care plan based on your progress and needs. We emphasize building a strong therapeutic alliance, ensuring you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your recovery journey.

For those managing both mental health and substance use challenges, we provide specialized dual diagnosis care that addresses both conditions comprehensively. Our integrated approach helps you understand the connection between these challenges while developing effective strategies for managing both.

As you progress, we’ll work together to strengthen your support system, involving family members or loved ones in your treatment process when appropriate. We’ll also help you develop a robust aftercare plan, ensuring you have the resources and support needed for continued success after completing the program.

Who Is PHP Right For?

Our Partial Hospitalization Program is designed to support individuals facing various mental health challenges while providing the flexibility to maintain connections with home and family. You might benefit from PHP if you:

• Are managing moderate to severe mental health challenges.
• Need support for co-occurring substance use disorders.
• Recently completed inpatient treatment and need step-down care.
• Require more intensive support than traditional outpatient therapy.
• Want to maintain work or school obligations while getting intensive treatment.
• Need comprehensive care but prefer to stay connected to your support system.
• Are experiencing increased symptoms but don’t require 24-hour supervision.
• Have tried lower levels of care without achieving the desired progress.
• Want focused support while maintaining some independence.

During your initial assessment, our clinical team will help determine if PHP is the right level of care for your current needs. If a different type of treatment would better serve you, we’ll help connect you with more appropriate resources and support.
