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.
