Salt Lake Behavioral Health is proud to offer a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at our facility. Partial Hospitalization is ideal for those who are struggling with daily functioning, but who do not meet criteria for inpatient hospitalization, meaning that they are not at active risk of harming themselves or others.

PHP involves in-depth mental health treatment five days a week, for five hours a day. Patients usually need this level of care for between two and four weeks.

To refer a patient, friend or family member, call 801-264-6000.

Partial Hospitalization is often used as a transition program for those who are discharging from an inpatient program for either mental health or substance use. After being hospitalized, PHP can help patients regain their footing on their own at home, while having daily support from hospital staff. It also allows for additional time transitioning and adapting to mental health medications, with check-ins with a psychiatrist to monitor side effects.

PHP can be used as an intervention when a person doesn’t meet criteria for inpatient hospitalization, but still requires more help than a clinician can provide on an outpatient basis. [If the person is actively a danger to themselves or others, they should seek inpatient hospitalization. At our PHP in Salt Lake City, the patient will be evaluated by a psychiatrist within the first few days of treatment and can be provided with medications to manage their condition, as well as participation in extensive therapy groups and treatments.
