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

  • 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.

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.

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.

FAQs

What is partial hospitalization in mental health?

PHP is a type of mental health treatment where individuals participate in intensive therapy during the day and live at home at night. A PHP is a treatment program that provides less intensive care than in an inpatient program but offers outpatient therapy.

When the symptoms of a mental health condition severely disrupt daily functioning and are a danger to you or others, hospitalization to stabilize and manage those symptoms is vital. Some examples of mental health conditions that can require hospitalization include:

  • Psychosis
  • Severe depression
  • Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
  • An inability to care for yourself
Hospitalization or inpatient treatment is necessary when the symptoms of a mental health disorder are too extreme for partial hospitalization or outpatient care. Your healthcare provider can refer you to an acute mental health facility, such as Ocean View, to stabilize and manage your symptoms.

A partial hospitalization program is a more intensive level of care that often requires 20 or more hours of structured treatment each week. These programs provide more mental health care and support for individuals. PHPs typically include full-day schedules of individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and skills training. 

Whereas an intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a less intensive form of treatment that requires fewer hours than a PHP. IOPs provide support for those who can manage their daily lives and often serve as a step-down from PHP or inpatient care.

The typical length of a PHP is between 2 and 6 weeks, but it usually lasts 4 to 5 weeks. The length of your stay depends on the severity of your symptoms, needs, and progress on treatment. Once you have completed your PHP, you can transition to outpatient care.

We accept most major insurance providers, including Medicare and private insurance plans. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage options. We also offer private pay options.

Yes, we understand the importance of family in treating mental health issues. While Ocean View provides short-term crisis stabilization, we also work to involve families through support groups and family education. Our goal is to help patients and their loved ones build a strong support system that promotes long-term healing and stability. Family participation is encouraged to foster positive outcomes and ongoing progress.
