Individuals who benefit from Partial Hospitalization include those experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms, those who otherwise might be hospitalized without the on-going support of a Partial Hospitalization program, or those unable to function autonomously on a day-to-day basis. Treatment may be directed toward crisis stabilization, through intensive programming, or intermediate term treatment, through more extended clinical services.
