Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs (Mental Health)

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Short-term, intensive outpatient care, for those not
needing – or those stepping down from – inpatient care. Programs typically are 7 – 10 days in
length for 6 hours a day and combine individual assessment, psychiatric medication
management, and therapeutic, psychoeducational, and peer support groups.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): These programs are a step down from PHP, while still
providing greater support than typical outpatient therapy. They typically last 6 – 10 weeks and
meet 3 days a week for 3 hours a day. Individual assessment, psychiatric medication
consultation, and group education and support are included

● There are several PHP and IOP programs in Richmond, through HCA hospitals. Here is
