Integrative and holistic medical care is key to overcoming mental illness and addiction, as well as to achieve physical and emotional well being. Port St. Lucie Hospital’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides treatment for individuals dealing with medical, emotional, and psychiatric issues.
Treatment is conducted five hours a day in a tranquil, outpatient setting. The medically assisted recovery program operates either as an extension of post-hospitalization treatment or as an alternative to inpatient treatment, depending on the individual’s needs.
For those in need of comprehensive care, partial hospitalization programs provide the perfect setting.
