When Is PHP Necessary?
Partial Hospitalization may be necessary in the following situations:
Suicidal Thoughts, Self-Harm, or Substance Use:
If a teen is experiencing suicidal ideation, engaging in occasional self-harm that does not require medical attention, or struggling to maintain sobriety. Teens should be largely able to keep themselves safe without significant monitoring on nights and weekends.
Disrupted Daily Life:
If a teen is unable to maintain healthy relationships, or has significant problems when functioning in their family, peer group, and/or community and have increased difficulty maintaining daily responsibilities. If a teen is refusing to go to school or their academic performance is declining due to their mental health, substance use, or behavioral issues.
What is Partial Hospitalization Like for Teens?
