Adult Partial
Hospitalization Program
An Alternative to Inpatient
Treatment
|
| |
The Four Winds Adult Partial Hospitalization Program is a short-term, intensive, medically supervised
outpatient treatment program. The PHP operates 5 days a week from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
The PHP is an appropriate alternative to inpatient treatment, but can also be a benefit to patients
transitioning from inpatient to outpatient care. The program is especially suited to patients who may
be in acute distress with symptoms of depression or psychosis, and who may exhibit disorganized or
self-destructive behaviors. Adults who need a brief, comprehensive reassessment of their outpatient
treatment, including a change in their medication regimen will find this program beneficial.
Substance abuse problems are addressed.

Treatment
Staffed by a multi-disciplinary treatment team, the program utilizes a cognitive behavioral and
psycho-educational approach. Central to the treatment is the development of coping skills to
manage both symptoms of the patient's illness and the stressors of every day life.
Working closely with family/significant others is an important part of the program. Therapists meet
with the family on a regular basis, addressing significant issues, including medications. Clinical staff
are available 24 hours a day to consult in a crisis situation with the patient and family.
The program provides individual case management, group and family psychotherapy, medication
education and therapeutic activities.

Four Winds Hospital is open for admissions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Most third party payers
cover treatment, and Four Winds is a provider for major managed care networks as well as Blue
Cross. Medicare and New York State Medicaid (under 21 and over 65) are accepted. Managed
Medicaid is accepted for all ages. The referring therapist is invited to participate in the treatment
planning of all patients ensuring optimum care. Discharge planning is initiated at the time of
admission and continues through the course of the treatment.
