Adult PHP Treatment at HRI Hospital: Why Choose Us?
The adult partial hospitalization program (PHP) at HRI Hospital helps adults 18 and older recover from mental health issues, such as severe depression and anxiety. The program provides the structure and support of inpatient care without a hospital stay.
Our PHP mental health program meets Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. You may attend in person or virtually. We provide breakfast and lunch if you come in person. People typically attend our program for two weeks.
