Partial hospitalization/Day Treatment is a kind of out-patient addiction rehab program which is less than intensive outpatient and more intensive than regular outpatient treatment. Partial Hospitalization Day Treatment is also designed to help clients who require intense rehab for a dual-diagnosis disorder, but do not require around the clock supervision and treatment. For someone who has finished inpatient treatment, a partial hospitalization day treatment plan in Alvo could help them make the transition more easily into a drug or alcohol free way of life as a viable "step-down" option. Following partial hospitalization day treatment, the person could then transition into regular out-patient treatment.
When someone is in a partial hospitalization day treatment center, they typically participate in services anywhere from three to five days per week. It is like an in-patient treatment program in many important ways, including the fact that clients will have access tonurses, physicians, and mental health professionals who can deal with the psychological, emotional, and physical issues they are trying to overcome. For at least four to six hrs on the days that individuals attend partial hospitalization day treatment, they will receive individual addiction therapy, psychotherapy services, participate in group counseling, receive any needed medical care and address any of the mental health symptoms that trigger their drug and alcohol addiction.
