An Intensive Outpatient Program may be the answer!

The Adult Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) are available to individuals requiring outpatient treatment for psychiatric disorders and chemical dependency issues. The programs operate Monday - Friday between 8:30am and 2:30pm. Individuals may themselves call for an assessment appt ( Rose Carpenter, Secretary - 202.2296) or be referred by a physician, counselor, or other care provider in the community. Most insurance plans are welcome.

Therapy utilizes primarily a group modality, along with individual sessions, as required. The length of stay is seven to ten days. National data suggests that 57.5% of clients report their ability to manage daily activities improved "a great deal" or "a lot", with treatment.

The Adult PHP/IOP program also offers an Early Intervention Program for Chemical Dependency for individuals seeking an educational experience for Chemical Dependency and for those individuals who may not meet criteria for a clinical diagnosis of chemical dependency or substance abuse.

All therapists in the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program are Masters Level prepared. Clients will be seen by a Registered Nurse and an Attending Psychiatrist, during their stay. Client confidentiality is most highly honored.
