Adult Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Find a steady place to heal and get intensive, specialized support while returning home each evening.

Psychiatric Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

Adult PHP: Why Choose The Brook Hospitals?

Managing life with a mental health challenge can be hard. Specialized outpatient therapy can help you feel better and find growth and success, especially when you’re surrounded by providers and peers who understand what you’re going through.

The adult partial hospitalization program (PHP) at The Brook Hospitals provides deep, focused outpatient group therapy for adults 18+ with a psychiatric or emotional disorder. You attend the PHP five days a week and return home every day. The program gives you a chance to step away from life’s pressures and focus on your mental health.

We understand that you’re coming to us at one of the hardest moments in your life. We’re here for you with support that’s focused on addressing your needs and helping you feel better.

Highlights of our PHP include:

  • Mental health support without hospitalization: Our PHP provides intensive, focused therapy without inpatient hospitalization. You receive high-level clinical care while maintaining your home life each evening.
  • Small group therapy: We try to keep our groups to around 12 participants. Maintaining a small group helps create a space where you can feel heard and build meaningful connections with others who have similar experiences.
  • Medication management: Our PHP provides management and oversight for those who benefit from medication. You meet regularly with a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner who monitors your medication and adjusts it as needed.
  • Flexible care for your needs: Our flexible care model helps you receive the appropriate level of care as your needs change. We regularly assess your treatment goals and may recommend other levels of treatment. These include stepping down to our adult intensive outpatient program or stepping up to our adult inpatient psychiatric treatment program.

About the Adult Partial Hospitalization Program

Our adult partial hospitalization program runs Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at our location in Louisville, KY, and includes a detailed assessment, group therapy and educational sessions. You also have weekly individual meetings with a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner. Lunch and snacks are included.

Therapists use small group sessions for counseling. You sit with and learn from people who have many of the same experiences as you. We tailor therapy sessions to the needs of the group, so you get the most out of them.

Topics your group discusses may include problem-solving, coping skills, grief, social skills, stress and more. By practicing these skills in group therapy, you can gain the confidence to handle your challenges.

Specialized PHPs for Substance Use and Women Experiencing Trauma

We offer tailored programs for specific populations. The Women’s Trauma PHP focuses on the unique needs of women who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault or other forms of trauma. Our dual diagnosis substance use PHP is for adults experiencing mental health challenges and issues with drugs or alcohol.
