“Partial hospitalization program,” or “PHP,” is an outdated and confusing term. PHP is the highest level of outpatient (i.e., non-residential) mental health care. There are no overnight stays at a hospital or facility; patients live at home and attend programming during the day.
Core Recovery’s Teen Mental Health PHP Program treats adolescents struggling with a range of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, PTSD, bipolar disorder (BPD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), personality disorders, and more.

Core Recovery’s Teen PHP Mental Health Program provides comprehensive, integrated care, five days per week. The program offers a fully day of therapeutic and educational programming for teenagers who are currently attending school remotely or participating in online learning. The PHP program offers a safe, structured, and supervised environment for adolescents to receive the mental health care that will empower them to return to more ordinary routines.
Core Recovery’s clinical team includes therapists, psychiatric professionals, registered dietitians, and case managers, all of whom work collaboratively to meet the individualized needs of every patient.
From the first day of treatment, the Core Recovery clinical team engages warmly, honestly, and empathetically with every teenage patient and their families to develop a customized treatment plan that is tailored to meeting that patient’s unique clinical needs and personal goals. Individualized treatment plans for Core Recovery’s patients include a combination of group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, diet and nutrition counseling, and psychiatric / medication management and treatment.
Core Recovery uses evidence-based modalities—including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)—to provide each patient with an enriching and rewarding therapeutic experience.
We know that entering an PHP program is a big commitment for our teenage patients and their families. At Core Recovery, our commitment is that the time and effort that our patients put into their care will be rewarded by the transformation they see in their mental health, well-being, and quality of life.
