The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Simpson General Hospital is a robust and effective short-term outpatient behavioral health program, available 5 days a week. It is designed to support and treat adults facing emotional and mental challenges. It is particularly beneficial for seniors experiencing behavioral disturbances, providing mental health treatment tailored for the elderly. PHP serves as an excellent transition from hospitalization and a valid alternative to full inpatient care for depression and age-related conditions.
Our program’s supportive group format significantly alleviates feelings of isolation and hopelessness, allowing individuals to recognize that they are not alone in their journey toward emotional and mental wellness. We offer specialized counseling for the elderly and tackle various issues, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety and stress
- Grief and loss
- Memory loss
- Early symptoms of dementia
- Bipolar disorder
- Aggression and hostility
- Schizophrenia
- Other emotional, psychological, or behavioral disorders
At PHP, our primary goal is to empower participants to comprehend their current challenges and enhance their coping skills. We achieve this through:
- Comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluations
- Engaging group therapy sessions
- Effective stress management techniques
- Strategic goal setting
- Strengthening support systems
- Family therapy
- Thorough psychiatric assessment and treatment
Participants develop relaxation skills and strategies to combat negative thoughts while also focusing on cultivating healthy sleep and nutritional habits.
Patient’s transportation is available for up to 30 miles one way with breakfast and lunch provided.
