What to Expect
IOP provides a structured treatment environment while allowing individuals to continue living at home and remain connected to their families and communities.
​
The frequency and duration of treatment are determined by clinical need, individualized treatment planning, payer requirements, and applicable program requirements.

PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM (PHP)
What Is PHP?
K&A Associates and Mental Health’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive, structured behavioral health program designed for individuals who require a higher level of therapeutic support than traditional outpatient or intensive outpatient services but do not require 24-hour inpatient or residential care. PHP provides comprehensive behavioral health treatment during scheduled program hours while allowing individuals to return home after programming.
Who We Serve
Our Partial Hospitalization Program is designed to serve:
Children | Adolescents | Adults
PHP may be appropriate for individuals experiencing significant behavioral, emotional, or mental health needs that require frequent clinical intervention, increased structure, and ongoing therapeutic support.
​
Each individual’s appropriateness for PHP is determined through clinical assessment and level-of-care criteria.
PHP Services May Include
Comprehensive Behavioral Health Assessment
Individual Therapy
Group Therapy
Family Therapy and Family Support

Our Approach
PHP provides a highly structured therapeutic environment focused on stabilization, treatment, skill development, and preparing individuals to successfully transition to a less intensive level of care.
Treatment is individualized according to each person’s diagnosis, strengths, needs, treatment goals, and clinical recommendations.
​
For children and adolescents, family participation and coordination with schools and other members of the treatment team may be incorporated into care when appropriate.
​
For adults, treatment may focus on symptom management, emotional regulation, independent functioning, healthy relationships, and successful community living.
What to Expect
Individuals participating in PHP receive multiple therapeutic and behavioral health interventions within a structured program schedule.
​
Because PHP is more intensive than traditional outpatient treatment or IOP, individuals generally participate in programming more frequently while continuing to live outside of the treatment facility.
​
The exact schedule and duration of treatment are based on clinical need, individualized treatment planning, payer authorization, and applicable program requirements.
