Day Treatment ProgramDay Treatment Program is designed as an alternative to hospitalization. Patients may be enrolled directly into a Day Treatment Program program or may be "stepped down" from a hospital setting to facilitate the quickest return to the home setting. Day Treatment Program offers all of the program intensity of acute inpatient care without having to stay in the hospital overnight. Treatment consists of multiple treatment modalities (individual therapy, group therapy, education groups, family therapy and physician oversight) provided in a coordinated manner to achieve short-term stabilization of immediate crises. Skilled nursing care is provided, as well as routine treatment supervision by a psychiatrist. The Day Treatment Program is time-limited and concludes when the patient's immediate presenting problem is stabilized or resolved.
