Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike a hospital, our residential treatment program is unlocked and voluntary. Residential treatment usually is the best level of care for individuals leaving a hospital or acute care facility. The average length of stay for residential is 4-6 weeks before stepping down to a PHP or IOP. Group hours are approximately eight hours during the day for psychiatric and therapeutic sessions.
Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) is typically a step down after clients complete a residential treatment. PHP includes more supervision from the facility, which includes monitoring psychiatric symptoms and intake of medication. PHP offers a significant amount of individual and group therapy, which equates to 25 hours per week dedicated to care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is meant for clients who are not in dire need of medically supervised round the clock care. IOPs are mostly recommended as a step down for patients who have completed a more intensive PHP program. IOP allows clients to enact what has been taught throughout care while still giving clients individual and group hours to receive continued support. IOP typically entails 15 hours of individual and group hours each week.
