A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Massachusetts can offer the right level of clinical structure without full admission into a residential treatment program. Our PHP provides intensive daytime treatment within a supportive environment while still allowing people to live at home. This can help bridge the gap between inpatient care and traditional outpatient services. It supports continued progress through consistent therapy, medical oversight, and coordinated care.
We serve adults of all genders, ages 18 and older. If someone needs care, we make room for them. Our programs support those seeking mental health PHP in Massachusetts without barriers to access.
Types of Treatment Available in a PHP
This involves one-on-one mental health treatment with a licensed clinician that allows people in treatment to explore personal concerns, learn helpful skills, and set targeted goals in a private, supportive setting. These therapy sessions allow for tailored guidance and focused progress on each client’s unique challenges.
This treatment option brings people together in guided therapy sessions. Participants can benefit from shared learning, peer support, practicing communication skills, and social connection through structured discussion and therapeutic activities. Group settings can help people realize they’re not alone in their struggles, and give them the opportunity to learn from others’ experiences.
This therapy format tags loved ones into the recovery process. It can help to improve understanding, rebuild trust, and help strengthen the home support system. Including family in the recovery process can reinforce healthy communication and create a more supportive environment.
Designed for people who have experienced trauma, this therapy process can provide relief from lingering trauma symptoms that interfere with daily life and recovery. The lower impact of traumatic memories can help in gaining all possible benefits from other modalities of therapy.
People who undergo this form of treatment learn how to recognize how their thoughts influence emotions and behavior. The therapist teaches them practical techniques for reframing negative thinking and improving daily decision-making. CBT can help equip people with tools to manage triggers and make healthier choices.
Originally designed for people with borderline personality disorder, this therapy modality focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to help people manage intense emotions and relationship difficulties more effectively. DBT supports people in learning how to cope with stress and maintaining stability in challenging situations.
Mental Health Conditions Treated in a PHP
- Anxiety disorders: These involve ongoing worry, panic, or physical tension that can interfere with work and daily life. Treatment helps people manage anxious thoughts and stress responses.
- Depression disorders: This can be identified by a prolonged low mood, loss of motivation, changes in sleep, and difficulty concentrating. PHP care can help support mood stability and maintenance of daily routines.
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): This anxiety disorder may include flashbacks, sleep problems, and heightened alertness after trauma.
- Bipolar Disorder: This condition involves shifts between low and elevated moods that can affect judgment, sleep, and energy. PHP care can help with mood stability and daily structure.
- Schizophrenia: This condition and related personality disorders may involve hallucinations, delusions, and difficulty with thinking or social interaction. Care supports symptom management and daily functioning.
- Trauma-related disorders: These refer to conditions linked to past emotional or physical harm, with treatment potentially centering around on safety, regulation skills, and long-term stability.
Is a PHP Right For Me?
- Need structured, daily clinical support to manage symptoms that interfere with your ability to function consistently at work, school, or home
- Are transitioning out of inpatient treatment for addiction and believe you require continued monitoring, therapy, and support to maintain progress and reduce relapse risk
- Struggle to function with weekly outpatient care alone, finding that symptoms remain intense, unstable, or disruptive despite regular appointments
- Want consistent therapy while staying connected to your daily life, so you can return home and remain involved with family, responsibilities, and/or community
Our clinical team works closely with each individual through careful assessment and ongoing review. This helps determine the safest and most appropriate level of care based on current needs, support systems, and treatment goals.
What to Expect at a PHP

- Skills-based and process groups, which focus on building coping strategies, managing emotions, improving communication, and learning from shared experiences.
- Psychiatric care, which may include regular check-ins with a psychiatric provider to assess symptoms, medication management when necessary, and monitoring treatment progress.
