held during daytime hours and provides 20 or more hours per week to treat multidimensional instability not requiring
24-hour care.
Multidisciplinary assessment with a treatment plan which addresses psychological, social, medical, cognitive and
substance use needs. This should include coordination of care with patient’s outpatient providers.
Partial Hospital Programs are staed by a multidisciplinary treatment team under the leadership of a qualied physician.
Clinical assessment at least once per day.
Individual or group family modalities must be provided.
Psychiatric or medication evaluation at least once per week and more frequent as clinically indicated.
Recovery oriented individualized treatment plan.

regular social environment as soon as possible, unless contraindicated. School contact should address Individualized
Educational Plan/s as appropriate, for school age children.
Treatment is individualized and not determined by a programmatic timeframe. It is expected that the focus will
be preparing the patient for adaptive function in the community setting.

Skilled nursing care is on-site and a qualied physician is available during all program treatment hours to assist with crisis
intervention and to assess and treat medical and psychiatric problems.
