If you see your teen behaving strangely, it could be from several different social or family-related reasons. There could also be an underlying disorder that has manifested in them without your knowledge. To be sure of what is troubling them, have a medical professional make an assessment. We offer free confidential consultations and are here to help your family. We can help bring light to your teen’s situation. If your teen is experiencing drug user or severe depression, an adolescent partial hospitalization program might be the best solution.
Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program: What is it?
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers multidisciplinary clinical services for patients who do not present imminent danger to themselves or others. These teens are still able to function daily, so they are allowed to spend the night at home.
PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) is often recommended as a step prior to considering residential treatment centers for troubled youth, and it is typically suggested as a follow-up option after completing one to aid the teen in transitioning back to normal life.
At Key Healthcare in Los Angeles, your teen will participate in an intensive and structured program for eight hours a day and five days per week. The program promotes healing to ensure lasting changes. Your teen will also learn coping skills essential for recovery. This is carried out in a positive and safe space, medically equipped to treat your teen in comfort.
Components of Partial Hospitalization Program
You can expect your teen to receive physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual care, and we promote meditative activities such as yoga throughout the week.Some of the components of a partial hospitalization program are:
Individual Counseling
The facility’s therapists and psychiatrists will perform a clinical assessment to determine the patient’s specific needs. Once that’s done, they will design an individualized treatment plan with several types of teen individual therapy.
Group Therapy
Being among other teens experiencing the same situation helps patients see their issues from a different perspective. Adolescents attending our PHP and IOP programs participate in adolescent group therapy classes, so they can go through their recovery knowing that they are not alone.
Family Participation
Getting the family involved is beneficial for a patient’s recovery. Your participation from initial assessment to final release will help create an individualized program for your child. Family therapy is an important part of our teen program at Key Healthcare.
Educational Assistance
During the program, your teen will have a designated time to focus on school work. The staff at Key Healthcare will help them create a solid educational foundation.
