Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are a crucial component of the mental health treatment landscape. As a form of outpatient treatment, PHPs are differentiated from other outpatient treatment programs by their high level of scheduled treatment and accountability. Imagine Omaha offers a PHP as part of their comprehensive mental health services for teens and adolescents in Omaha, Nebraska, and the surrounding area.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A PHP is a type of outpatient treatment that provides intensive therapy and support for individuals with behavioral health issues. Unlike traditional outpatient programs, PHPs offer a more structured and comprehensive approach to care, with patients attending treatment sessions for several hours a day, multiple days a week. PHPs are designed to bridge the gap between inpatient hospitalization and traditional outpatient care, offering an effective alternative for those who require a higher level of support but do not need round-the-clock supervision.
Advantages of a PHP
Partial hospitalization programs offer numerous benefits over other forms of outpatient treatment. Some of these advantages include:
- Intensity of care – PHPs provide a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy, with patients receiving intensive treatment that is tailored to their specific needs. This allows for faster progress and better long-term outcomes.
- Flexible scheduling – While PHPs require more time commitment than standard outpatient care, they still offer flexibility in scheduling, allowing patients to maintain some daily routines and responsibilities while receiving the necessary support and treatment.
- Multidisciplinary approach – PHPs typically involve a team of healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and social workers, all working together to provide comprehensive care. This collaborative approach addresses all aspects of a patient’s well-being.
- Skill-building – PHPs often incorporate various therapeutic modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and group therapy, which help patients develop essential coping skills and strategies for managing their mental health.
- Peer support – By participating in group therapy sessions, patients can connect with others who are facing similar challenges, fostering a sense of community and support.
