How Our Program Differs

We know you’re different from everyone else. Because of this, we offer acute mental health care tailored to your unique needs. With your input, we build partnerships with medical and behavioral health services so you can transition from us to your daily life. We do this by providing comprehensive mental health services accessible to everyone. 

On-Site Team of Psychiatrists: Our on-site psychiatry team provides medication stabilization, monitoring, and management. Your well-being is vital throughout your stay in our inpatient mental health crisis facility and our outpatient services. 

Case Management & Aftercare Support: Case management begins when you’re admitted to either our inpatient or outpatient program. Our case managers and social workers ensure you have a safe place to go, whether that’s housing or a facility, once you leave us.

Transportation Coordination Provided: We offer transportation services coordinated with a trusted provider that take you to and from inpatient intake and discharge destinations, as well as to/from our on-site outpatient programs. *Transportation is provided to patients within a 50-mile radius

Stabilization for Managing Psychiatric Symptoms: Ocean View provides 24/7 inpatient psychiatric care. We also have outpatient treatment programs.

Patient Resource Network: Transitioning from inpatient or outpatient treatment can be overwhelming. That’s why we have an opt-in patient follow-up option. You don’t have to manage your symptoms alone.

What to Expect From Our Mental Health PHP Program in Long Beach

Our PHP program is an intensive, structured treatment alternative to hospitalization. The program offers:

  • Four group sessions a day that meet five days a week. These sessions include a psychoeducational group led by a social worker and a therapeutic recreation support session led by a recreation therapist.
  • Case management
  • Snacks and lunch

Structure of Our PHP

Our integrated psychiatric services provide four groups each day. We offer strengths-based, participant-centered treatment based on information from the goal-setting group.

Groups are tailored to benefit the unique needs and objectives of our participants with an emphasis on promoting hope and fostering the realization of your best possible future. Our psychoeducation groups address:

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Interpersonal challenges
  • Co-occurring disorders
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Self-harming behaviors,
  • Diversity issues
  • Trauma

Care is provided by licensed/registered clinicians who operate from a recovery and wellness perspective. 

Medication Management Support

Medication management is an essential part of our PHP and IOP treatment. Our clinicians carefully review, adjust, and prescribe medications based on each individual’s medical history, risk factors, needs, and potential side effects. If an individual is experiencing a psychotic disorder or is at risk of psychosis, appropriate medications may be used to help manage these issues safely. Continuous monitoring of your medication allows our healthcare team to make adjustments as needed to ensure optimal care and safety throughout treatment.

Length of Our PHP Psychiatric Program

A PHP often lasts between 2 and 6 weeks, but usually goes from approximately 4 to 5 weeks. Your length of stay depends on your individual progress, needs, and treatment goals.

Collaborative Care With an Expert Team

Ocean View Psychiatric Health Facility’s multidisciplinary team works together to ensure your time with us fulfills your unique needs. We work with you to create a treatment plan that reflects your goals and meets you where you are.

Aftercare & Patient Follow-Up

Your aftercare plan is developed when you begin treatment. As you prepare to return to your life outside our care, you will work with our treatment team to learn about the services available to you once you transition back to your daily life. We ensure you have:

  • Case manager support
  • Outpatient transitions
  • Housing or facility placements
  • Community support referrals
Our Opt-In Patient Follow-Up (Patient Resource Network) continues to provide support and encouragement after you transition back into your life.

When PHP Is Right For You

Often, knowing which mental health program is right for you is difficult. However, if you are experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms that severely disrupt and impair your ability to function and don’t require hospitalization, a PHP may be the right program. 

PHPs are tailored to meet the needs of those who don’t require the structure of an inpatient setting but do need a more structured setting that allows an individual to attend sessions and live at home. You will receive engaging, structured care designed to increase your independence.
