What to Expect with PHP and IOP
We first work with you to determine the best place to start: PHP or IOP. When you are admitted at the PHP level, you will begin a 5-day per week therapeutic journey. After successfully completing PHP, you will be moved into our IOP treatment. IOP treatment will continue to guide and support you as your depressive symptoms decrease in intensity and frequency. With a new outlook on life, you will complete your IOP treatment, leading to your graduation. You will then be a part of our caring alumni community which provides support, friendship, and connection.
In each program, you will work with a case manager, an individual therapist, a group therapist, and a holistic practitioner, for the perfect treatment schedule to heal your symptoms related to depression. These programs include:
Individual Therapy
Our therapists will determine which therapy method is best for you, such as eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, somatic therapy, gestalt therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) or cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
