FAQs
How do I make a referral to the program or who can refer to the program?
What is day treatment for mental health?
Day treatment for mental health, sometimes called partial hospitalization program or PHP, is often the best next step after completing a residential mental health treatment program. Most Skyland Trail clients, both adults and adolescents, who admit to our residential treatment program step down to our day treatment program as their skills and symptoms improve. Adult clients stepping down from residential treatment to day treatment may also participate in our transitional housing program if approved by their treatment team.
How long do you stay in residential treatment for a 14 year old?
Adolescent clients who admit to the residential treatment program typically stay at the residential level of care for 8-12 weeks before stepping down to day treatment/IOP. Contact admissions for more information about adolescent continuing care through day treatment.
