Adult Partial Hospitalization Program in Pembroke, MA
When grappling with a mental health concern or a co-occurring substance use issue, finding the right level of support can feel difficult. A partial hospitalization program (PHP) can offer the structured care you need without requiring an overnight stay. Whether you are seeking care for yourself or looking to support a loved one, the Adult PHP at Branches South Shore may provide a helpful path forward.
The adult full-day outpatient program is a short-term, therapeutic day treatment. It provides a structured environment where patients can address social, emotional and behavioral challenges. Setbacks and difficult days are a common part of the recovery process, but they don’t mean failure. Through daily attendance, you can learn to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, mood disorders and post-traumatic stress disorder.
If you are processing a deeply distressing event, the specialized Trauma-Focused Adult PHP can help. This track focuses on identifying triggers and understanding how trauma affects the body, offering a space during group therapy to process these experiences.
What to expect in the adult PHP
- Group therapy: Patients participate in multiple daily sessions. These groups offer a space to share experiences and learn from others.
- Evidence-based treatments: The program incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These approaches can help you build sustainable coping skills.
- Medication management: The mental health team can review and adjust your medications. This may help stabilize moods and support your daily functioning.
- Discharge planning: Your care doesn’t end when the program does. Case managers can collaborate with outpatient providers to outline your next steps.
