Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program
“Thank you so much for all you do! And for being a source of calm and support when my son needed it most.”
A Grateful Parent
Adolescent PHP Mental Health
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. Symptoms of depression and anxiety can become prevalent and difficult to manage without support and guidance.
Adolescent Partial Hospitalization offers day treatment, while weekends and evenings allows patients to test learned skills at home.
The Youth and 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.
Phone: 513-536-0KID (0543)
The Adolescent Partial Hospitalization 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, including eating disorders. 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.

More Than Treatment for Teens. Partnership for Families.
When an adolescent is struggling, the whole family feels it. That’s why Lindner Center of Hope’s Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program goes beyond treating the teen alone.
Our team invests time in understanding the family’s experience, building partnership with parents and caregivers, and helping families develop practical tools they can use together at home. It’s a collaborative approach that is much like family coaching—helping parents and teens better understand what is happening, strengthen communication, navigate difficult moments and build skills that can make a lasting difference.
During the day, adolescents receive intensive, evidence-based treatment and develop skills for managing emotions, relationships, school concerns and mental health symptoms. Then, evenings and weekends provide an important opportunity to practice those skills in the real world—with the people who matter most.
We Work With the Family, Not Just the Patient
Our multidisciplinary team partners with adolescents and their guardians to create individualized treatment goals and plans. Family involvement is woven into the treatment experience, with a focus on helping families translate what is learned in the program into everyday life.
Families can gain a better understanding of their adolescent’s challenges and learn how to:
- Communicate more effectively during difficult moments
- Respond to emotional and behavioral challenges with greater confidence
- Reinforce healthy coping and emotion-regulation skills at home
- Support progress without taking over the work of recovery
- Navigate school, social and family concerns
- Build resilience and strengthen relationships
- Prepare for the transition back to daily routines and ongoing care
The goal is not simply to help an adolescent feel better while they are in treatment. It is to help the adolescent and family create positive change that can continue at home.
At Lindner Center of Hope, we believe families can be an important part of the path toward healing. We work alongside them—providing guidance, practical tools and support so they can move forward together.

- Patient and their guardian(s)
- Board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist
- Psychiatric nurse practitioner
- Licensed social worker
- Psychiatric registered nurse
- Mental health specialist
- Recreational therapist
- Spiritual care provider

Financial Obligations for Adolescent PHP
At Lindner Center of Hope, we understand that dealing with the financial implications of mental illness can be difficult. That is why we are here to help. Together we can work through your financial obligations and insurance questions.
Many insurance plans have specific partial hospital benefits. Insurance plans with mental health benefits, but without specific partial hospital benefits, are typically willing to provide 2 days of partial hospitalization at the reimbursement rate of 1 day of inpatient hospitalization. Physician fees are billed separately. We will work with families to understand their financial responsibilities and that which may be covered by insurance. Lindner Center of Hope is not a Medicaid provider.
