Waukegan, IL September 30, 2019 – Lake Behavioral Hospital has resumed its Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) as the school year is well under way to meet the needs of local school districts and community organizations who work with adolescents.
The PHP program is designed to provide adolescents with short-term intensive therapeutic treatment that is a step down from traditional inpatient hospitalization but is more involved than standard outpatient therapy. Adolescents will develop skill needed to cope with symptoms of mental health and mood disorders by attending group therapy, activity therapy, weekly family therapy and medication management.
The PHP program takes place Monday-Friday from 8:30am-2:30pm with lunch included.
Lake Behavioral Hospital’s Adolescent PHP program addresses common mental health disorders such as:
· Anxiety
· Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder
· Impulse Control
· Anger Management
· Self-Harm
· Others
Teens will meet with a psychiatrist, participate in group therapy, maintain school work, and participate in a variety of psychodynamic and educational process sessions.
