Outpatient psychiatric care for co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders

Outpatient mental health programs, such as partial hospitalization programs (PHPs), offer a variety of tailored treatments to meet the unique needs of patients. PHPs provide a systematic treatment atmosphere without needing an overnight stay, bridging the gap between inpatient services and traditional outpatient clinics. Patients participate in therapy sessions at the rehab facility for specific hours and then return home.

At UNISON Rehab, we believe everyone deserves high-quality, affordable mental health treatment. Our outpatient services are tailored to your unique needs, and we offer a variety of Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) services for different mental health issues, including individual and group therapy, medication management, and support groups. PHP can benefit patients who need more intensive treatment than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require the 24/7 care of an inpatient facility.

If you want to learn more about PHP or our other outpatient mental health programs, please get in touch with UNISON Rehab today at (267) 440-7205.
