Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Looking for more structured support than an IOP? The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Vitalize Behavioral Health and Psychometrics in Fresno provides intensive mental health treatment for individuals who do not require 24-hour care. This program is a step between full-time hospitalization and typical outpatient treatment, letting patients maintain their day-to-day routines while receiving well-organized and comprehensive care. PHP involves a higher level of care and more hours per week compared to the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). While IOP typically involves therapy sessions several times a week for a few hours each day, PHP offers more extensive services, often with daily sessions for several hours. PHP is ideal for those needing closer monitoring and support, while IOP is suitable for those progressing well but still requiring significant therapeutic support.
