Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Bradley REACH offers a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) which includes family therapy, individual therapy, group therapy and psychiatric care provided by our multidisciplinary team made up of a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, nurse and behavioral health specialist. PHP is ideal for teens who need more than outpatient care or who need step-down care and continued support after an inpatient stay. The PHP program is a day program providing six hours of intensive treatment per day from 8 am to 2 pm Monday through Friday for, on average, three to four weeks, depending on the child’s needs. During these hours, teens engage in three daily group therapy sessions and twice weekly individual and family therapy sessions.
