Luxury Partial Hospitalization Program for Juveniles

When weekly therapy is no longer enough but your teenager does not require 24-hour hospitalization, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) can provide the structure and clinical support they need. PHP, also called Day Treatment, delivers intensive care during the day while allowing children to return home each evening.

At the Ohio Center for Adolescent Wellness, our adolescent PHP gives youths access to personalized treatment in a supportive setting designed around their developmental and clinical needs. Instead of waiting for symptoms to worsen or another crisis to occur, families can take action while their kid can still remain connected to home.

Our full-day program addresses mental health, behavioral concerns, and substance use issues through evidence-based therapies and consistent clinical oversight.

Why Teens May Benefit From PHP

Intensive Care Without Overnight Treatment

Teenagers participate in structured therapeutic programming throughout the day and return home at night. This allows them to remain connected to family while practicing coping and communication skills outside treatment.

More Support Than Weekly Therapy

PHP provides substantially more clinical contact than traditional outpatient therapy. Youngsters may participate in CBT, DBT, EMDR, family therapy, and experiential approaches as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Support During Emotional Crisis

Anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, and emotional dysregulation can quickly disrupt one’s life. Consistent treatment gives adolescents the opportunity to stabilize, understand their symptoms, and develop healthier responses.

Who Can Participate in Teen PHP?

Our adolescent day treatment program near Columbus, OH serves children ages 13 to 17 with diagnosed mental health conditions who are medically and psychiatrically stable and do not require 24-hour supervision.

A comprehensive intake assessment helps our multidisciplinary team determine whether PHP is appropriate and identify the level of support your teen’s needs.

Conditions treated include anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, self-harm behaviors, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders.

We also provide free insurance verification to help families understand available coverage.

Personal Teen PHP Treatment

Our adolescent PHP combines evidence-based therapies with supportive and experiential approaches tailored to one’s needs.

Individual Counseling

Teenagers work with their primary therapist to explore underlying concerns, develop insight, and establish treatment goals.

Group Therapy

Licensed clinicians lead groups focused on emotional awareness, communication, distress tolerance, coping strategies, social skills, and conflict resolution.

Family Therapy

Family sessions help parents better understand their kid’s needs while developing healthier communication and stronger relationships.

Experiential and Holistic Therapies

Depending on clinical recommendations, treatment may include art therapy, mindfulness, yoga, EMDR for trauma, stress-reduction practices, and recreational activities.

Medication Management

Our psychiatric team provides ongoing medication assessments to support safety, effectiveness, and alignment with treatment goals.

Life Skills and Academic Support

Teens can work on organization, study habits, emotional regulation, social skills, problem-solving, decision-making, and executive functioning.

Additional therapeutic approaches may include CBT, DBT skills training, EMDR for trauma and PTSD, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, and attachment-focused approaches.

Admissions and Insurance

Starting treatment should not create another source of stress. Our admissions process begins with a conversation about your teenager’s needs, followed by an intake assessment, eligibility review, insurance verification, treatment planning, and program enrollment.

We work with most major insurance plans and provide guidance regarding coverage and payment options.
