Partial hospitalization is a level of care between outpatient, such as a therapist's office, and inpatient, such as a hospital or residential facility. Youth ages 12-17 and their families engage in an intensive therapeutic setting and seek to make progress with emotional and behavioral stability, family conflict, self-harm behaviors, academic failure and interpersonal problems due to emotional health challenges.
