Hudson Valley
The Astor Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), licensed by the NYS Office of Mental Health, offers an intensive treatment program designed to keep adolescents in the community and prevent inpatient hospitalization.
The PHP Program uses intensive group, individual and family therapy to stabilize the adolescents’ symptoms and avoid inpatient admission. PHP utilizes Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as the primary evidence-based treatment model along with other evidenced-based therapies, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
This program may be used as an initial point of entry into mental health care; as a step up from routine or intensive outpatient services; as a step down from acute inpatient care; or to prevent hospitalization.
The program provides an educational component to enable the adolescent keeps up with school work. In addition, adolescents are provided with extra support in any learning areas that are challenging to them.
