A partial hospitalization program, or PHP, is one of the highest levels of outpatient mental health care offered at Living Spring Behavioral Healthcare – LSBH. We may recommend PHP for children or adults whose symptoms have become too much to manage with weekly therapy or who are coming out of a psychiatric hospital and need a safe, structured way to continue healing at home. For younger clients, partial hospitalization programs are often used to address severe anxiety, depression, mood swings, or behavioral issues that are getting in the way of school or family life. For adults, they provide a calm, safe place to regroup after a period of instability, often related to trauma, major life transitions, or worsening mental health symptoms. The goal is to create a foundation for recovery so you can take meaningful steps toward rebuilding your life when it’s been disrupted. If you or your child is trying to regain footing after a period of crisis, our mental health providers in Baltimore, MD are here to help with personalized partial hospitalization programs.
The first step in a partial hospitalization program is a detailed intake process. Our team will take the time to understand your symptoms, the risks or challenges to your mental health, and which approach might be the most helpful for you or your child. Our PHP runs five days a week for 6 – 7 hours each day, creating a structured setting for individuals to move out of crisis mode and into a space where they can learn how to manage symptoms and respond to the challenges that come up in day-to-day life. Each day may include a combination of group therapy, individual counseling, family counseling, and skill-building activities, all designed to help clients better understand their behaviors and thought patterns. Our care team will listen without judgment, respond compassionately, and adjust your treatment plan as needed to help you find a way back from emotional distress.
For some, a PHP may be recommended after a hospital stay. For others, it offers a way to avoid hospitalization by stepping into a higher level of care before things escalate further. The benefits of a dedicated partial hospitalization plan at Living Spring Behavioral Healthcare – LSBH include:

Many insurance plans do cover Partial Hospitalization Programs. Our Team at Living Spring Behavioral Healthcare – LSBH can help verify your benefits and discuss any costs involved before you begin treatment.
Since PHP typically runs during daytime hours, most participants pause school or work while in the program. However, our Team encourages open communication about your schedule and can help plan for a smooth transition back into daily responsibilities once treatment goals are met.
The duration of a Partial Hospitalization Program varies based on individual progress and goals. On average, most participants attend for a few weeks, but some may need more time. Our Team will closely monitor your progress and adjust your care plan as needed.
Each person’s mental health journey is their own, but at Living Spring Behavioral Healthcare – LSBH, clients don’t have to go through it alone. Our programs are personalized and designed to provide the support and stability needed to get back into the world.
