Whether you’re going through mental health struggles or are fighting through addiction, getting help can seem so out of place. Inpatient or hospitalized care can often be stressful and leave you yearning for your friends and family. Many people choose not to go into treatment programs because of this. However, there is such a thing as partial hospitalization (PHP), and this video explains what a PHP program is.
What Is Partial Hospitalization?
PHP is a program that allows patients to stay part-time during the day and receive intensive treatment while still being able to go home at night. This allows patients to maintain a sense of life while also treating their mental health problems.
Many patients opt for this because they have other commitments they can’t get away from for treatment. That being said, not everyone can qualify for PHP and must discuss it with their hospital.
Should I Get a PHP?
If you’ve been struggling mentally and have found that you’re in a position where you don’t want to get treatment because of the length of a program, then yes. A PHP program is often much more relaxing and will allow you to keep up with your family, friends, and other commitments.
Partial hospitalization programs are perfect for those who have mental health issues but can’t be taken away for a full treatment program. Not all hospitals offer this, but more are adapting them every year.
