Lindner Center of HOPE Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program Now Open
The program, part of the Child/Family Center at Lindner Center of HOPE, will meet adolescent individual needs through day treatment.
Lindner Center of HOPE opened an Adolescent Partial Hospitalization program as part of its Child/Family Center on January 8, 2024. . The center has dedicated space on its campus for this offering as a less intensive intervention than inpatient hospitalization, for stable adolescents struggling with mental health concerns.
Adolescence is a stage of development full of transitions and wayfinding. Adolescence is also one of the most common time frames for initial onset of mental health concerns. Given these factors, a teen may struggle to manage home, school, and social activities without additional therapeutic support. The Child/Family Center at Lindner Center of HOPE offers a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for adolescents (who do not meet the criteria for more intensive intervention of inpatient hospitalization) to receive day treatment, while living out their learned skills in the evenings and weekends at home.
The program is designed to help meet the individual needs of each participant through:
- Psychoeducation
- Individualized treatment planning
- Intentional goal setting
- Evidence-based psychotherapeutic experiences in a group setting
- Personalized consultative evaluations and intervention potential
- A psychiatric evaluation with optional medication management
- Educational support
- Progress reports for families and referrers
- Aftercare assistance
Appropriate patients for the Adolescent PHP will be 12 to 18 (if still in high school) years of age with primary mental health concerns. Co-occurring presentations will be reviewed for appropriate fit. The standard length of the program is 10 business days with possible extension determined by the team based on individual needs and goals. Program hours are from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm.
The entire treatment team will work with the adolescents and their families to provide tangible insights and skills to apply to daily life.
Coping skills can address:
- A variety of mental health diagnoses
- School concerns
- Emotion regulation
- Interpersonal interactions
