Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is a type of out-patient drug and alcohol addiction rehabilitation program that is less than intensive out-patient and more intensive than normal outpatient rehabilitation. Partial Hospitalization Day Treatment is also tailored to individuals who require intensive treatment for a dual-diagnosis disorder, but don't require twenty-four hour intervention and treatment. For a client who has completed inpatient rehab, a partial hospitalization day treatment program in Ruby could help them make the transition more easily into a sober lifestyle as a "step-down" option. After partial hospitalization day treatment, the individual could then phase into regular outpatient care.
When a person is in a partial hospitalization day treatment facility, they commonly take part in services in the range of 3-5 days a week. It is similar to an inpatient program in many significant ways, including the fact that clients will get access tonurses, physicians, and mental health professionals who can deal with the physical, emotional and psychological issues they are trying to overcome. For at least four to six hours on the days that individuals attend partial hospitalization day treatment, the clients will get individual addiction therapy, attend group counseling sessions, psychotherapy sessions, receive any necessary medical care and address any of the mental health symptoms that are triggering their drug and alcohol addiction.
