Springbrook Hospital Partial Hospitalization Level of Care

This multi-disciplinary treatment program is an intensive treatment offered to adults 18 years and older who are experiencing an acute exacerbation of an established Axis I diagnosis within ICD-9 codes 290-319.  Dual diagnosis with drug or alcohol is eligible for services.  The goal is to provide a viable alternative to inpatient or bridge the gap between inpatient treatment and the ability to benefit from outpatient treatment.  Length of stay is determined by individual patient need.

Admission Criteria:
 

1.        Transitioning from Inpatient: While transition to PHP level of care is expected within 24 hours of discharge, immediate transition is preferred.  Due to the severity of the patient’s presenting problems, this step down  is medically necessary in lieu of a longer inpatient stay and to prevent relapse back into inpatient care.  Once this program is completed the patient will be referred for outpatient therapy.
 

2.        Transitioning from Outpatient: Referrals are accepted from outpatient providers including psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists.  Transition is preferred within 24 to 48 hours of the referral .  Acute exacerbation of the Axis I diagnosis in which outpatient treatment interventions have been unable to facilitate stabilization is required.  PHP crisis intervention then becomes an alternative to inpatient referral.
 

3.        Medically stable and able to tolerate the length of treatment hours.
 

4.        Potential community support system to maintain stability outside of treatment hours.
 

5.        Ability to benefit from group facilitated psychotherapy.
