Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

The Bridge Between
Crisis and Recovery.

PHP is for people who need intensive, daily clinical care — but are stable enough to return home at night. Full programming. Real structure. The bridge between inpatient and independent living.

Understanding PHP

Intensive Care.
Without the Overnight Stay.

Partial Hospitalization is the most intensive level of outpatient mental health care available. You come in five days a week, spend the day in structured clinical programming, and return home in the evening. Designed for people who need more than IOP can offer — but who don't require around-the-clock inpatient monitoring.

PHP
Partial Hospitalization
5 days per week, 6+ hours per day. A full clinical team including psychiatry, individual therapy, group therapy, and care coordination. Designed for acute stabilization, inpatient step-down, and those who need daily clinical contact to remain stable.
Most intensive outpatient level
VS. IOP
Intensive Outpatient
3 days per week, 9 hours total. Group and individual therapy without the full-day commitment of PHP. Right for people who need structure but can manage evenings and weekends safely on their own.
Flexible, still intensive
VS. THERAPY
Individual Therapy
One session per week, one hour. Best for maintenance, ongoing growth, and long-term wellbeing. PHP and IOP are both stepping stones back toward this level of independence.
The destination, not the start

A Day in PHP

What Daily Programming Actually Looks Like.

Every day in PHP has structure — not rigidity. Here's a representative look at how a typical day runs at Trademark Therapy Services.

9:00 AM
Morning Check-In
Brief group check-in to set intention, share where you are, and flag anything that came up overnight.
9:30 AM
Group Therapy — Skills
Evidence-based skills group — CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed depending on your track. Not lecture. Active, engaged work.
11:00 AM
Process Group
Open group focused on processing what's coming up emotionally. This is where the deeper work often happens.
12:30 PM
Lunch Break
A real break. Meals aren't provided, but the time to decompress is.
1:30 PM
Individual Therapy
One-on-one session with your assigned therapist. Private, focused, and built around your specific treatment plan.
2:30 PM
Psychiatric Check-In
For clients on medication, brief check-in with the psychiatric provider to assess response, side effects, and any adjustments. Scheduled as clinically appropriate.
3:00 PM
Closing Group
End-of-day group to reflect, integrate the day's work, and prepare for the evening. Coping plans, support check-ins, next-day intentions.

Note: Schedules vary based on individual need and clinical judgment.

Who PHP Is For

PHP Is for People Who Need More Than Weekly Therapy Can Give.

These aren't criteria to be checked — they're patterns. If several feel familiar, a conversation is worth having. PHP is a serious level of care — and that's exactly why it works for the people who need it.

Inpatient Step-Down
Recently discharged from an inpatient psychiatric facility and needing structured step-down care before returning to independent living.
Acute Mental Health Crisis
In a crisis that doesn't require hospitalization but clearly needs more than IOP — including active suicidal ideation without intent or plan.
Severe Anxiety or Depression
When anxiety, depression, or another condition is significantly impairing ability to work, care for yourself, or maintain basic daily functioning.
Need for Daily Contact
Requiring daily clinical contact to stay stabilized — not just weekly check-ins. The daily structure is clinically necessary, not optional.
Medication Monitoring
Managing a psychiatric condition that requires close medication monitoring alongside therapy — PHP's full team handles both.
Previous Care Wasn't Enough
Lower levels of care — including IOP — haven't provided sufficient support. PHP offers the accountability and structure needed to make meaningful progress.

The Continuum of Care

PHP Is a Beginning,
Not the Whole Journey.

Most people in PHP are working toward something: stability, skills, independence. The goal isn't to stay in PHP forever — it's to get strong enough to step down. Trademark Therapy Services offers every level of that path, and your team will be involved in planning every transition. You won't be handed off to a stranger.
