Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) offer a comprehensive, outpatient experience for clients stepping down from residential treatment and who are ready to begin re-entering the world. The Ranch Pennsylvania has expanded on this experience by creating a mental health Partial Hospitalization Program to help fulfill the needs of clients on the road to mental health wellness and recovery.
What Does a Mental Health Partial Hospitalization Program Look Like?
Through the Partial Hospitalization Program, clients are given the tools to reintegrate back into independent living with the support of The Ranch Pennsylvania’s caring staff and a close-knit peer community. The program runs 7 days a week with sessions scheduled between 9:00 am – 3:00 pm. This program includes:
- Small group sessions to build close peer relationships
- Two individual sessions per week
- Access to recovery resources such as The Rooted Alumni program
- Use of electronics at the end of the program day
- *Ability to go off facility grounds after a 7-day adjustment phase
After clients who have proven to have successfully managed activities of daily life, participated in individual and group sessions consistently and have set reachable goals with their therapist, clients are then able to successfully step down from residential treatment care and have more time independent of staff to work on their personal recovery goals. This prepares clients by teaching them how to live within a small, safe community before entering back into the world.
What Therapy is Used?
The Ranch Pennsylvania utilizes a comprehensive blend of therapy approaches including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
- Relapse Prevention
- Medication Management
- Personalized Coping Skills
- Adventure Therapy
- Group Processing
- Psychoeducation
The therapeutic curriculum also includes self-directed homework assignments that aid clients in meeting their personal recovery goals and assist in maintaining mindful awareness outside of The Ranch Pennsylvania treatment campus.
What Makes This Program Unique?
The Partial Hospitalization Program offers clients the opportunity to continue treatment with staff and peers in order to build a solid recovery network and work towards a deeper understanding of themselves. This way, clients can effectively learn and practice coping skills to help manage their mental wellness. The Ranch Pennsylvania’s caring staff is there every step of the way as clients reintegrate back into society. Benefits of the mental health PHP program are:
- On-campus housing or commuter options
- A close-knit community of staff and peers
- Ability to spend time with family and friends
- Expanding on emotional regulation
- More independence in comparison to residential treatment
- Utilizing existing coping skills
Overall, studies have shown that longer lengths of time in treatment can facilitate an improved outcome. Clients who are ready to take the next step on their recovery journey will have the ability to use the tools taught in residential treatment to find independence and develop self-reliance.
