Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
When mental health symptoms require structured, intensive support but do not require 24/7 inpatient care, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers a focused level of treatment while allowing patients to return home in the evenings.
At Oceans Healthcare, PHP provides comprehensive daytime behavioral health care designed to support stabilization, continued progress, and safe transition forward.
This level of care allows patients to maintain important connections to home, family, and daily life while receiving consistent clinical support.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program is a structured, hospital-based level of behavioral health care that provides several hours of treatment during the day without an overnight stay.
At Oceans Healthcare, PHP focuses on:
- Continued psychiatric evaluation and symptom management
- Medication oversight and adjustment
- Structured therapeutic support during the day
- Skill development to support stability and functioning
Planning for continued care after PHP
Patients attend treatment during the day and return home or to a supportive living environment in the evenings.
Is Partial Hospitalization Right for You?
Partial hospitalization may be appropriate for individuals who:
- Are stepping down from inpatient behavioral health care
- Require more structure and support than traditional outpatient care
- Are experiencing persistent or worsening mental health symptoms
- Need regular psychiatric oversight without 24/7 supervision
Can safely reside at home outside of treatment hours
For some patients, substance use may be present alongside mental health symptoms. When this occurs, care is integrated into the overall behavioral health treatment plan rather than treated as a standalone condition.
What to Expect During Partial Hospitalization Treatment
Partial hospitalization at Oceans Healthcare follows a structured, supportive daytime schedule tailored to each patient’s needs. Most patients can expect:
- Regular psychiatric and medical oversight

- Structured therapeutic support appropriate to PHP

Programming is age-appropriate, with separate care environments for adolescents, adults, and geriatric patients to ensure individualized, clinically appropriate treatment.
