Levels Of Care For Inpatient & Outpatient

Whether you need structured daily support or flexible weekly therapy, our programs are built to help you heal safely and confidently.

Inpatient Program

An inpatient program delivers the highest level of care with 24/7 support, structured therapeutic programming, and a safe environment for individuals who need intensive mental health treatment. This typically lasts 30-90 days.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program provides structured daytime treatment with clinical support, therapeutic groups, and personalized care for individuals who require several hours of focused mental health treatment each weekday.

Intensive Outpatient Program

This program offers a step down in structure with scheduled therapy sessions, skill-building groups, and ongoing support for individuals who need routine guidance while gaining more independence in daily life.

Outpatient Program

An outpatient program provides the most flexible level of care with weekly therapy, supportive guidance, and continued clinical oversight for individuals who are ready for greater independence while maintaining consistent mental health progress.
