Outpatient Mental Health Treatment for Senior Adults
Senior adults face different mental health challenges than adolescents and younger adults, and a team that understands their needs can make a big difference when it comes to mental health treatment.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 14 percent of adults 60 and over live with mental health issues – mental health issues are not just a part of aging, and programs like ours can help.
How Can a Partial Hospitalization Program Help Senior Adults?
Why choose a PHP over other levels of care? Inpatient treatment can often be seen as a last resort for those in need of mental health help but not in the midst of a mental health crisis. On the other hand, an intensive outpatient program may not provide enough assistance for some senior adults.
A senior adult PHP is a happy medium between the two, providing therapies and treatments on a structured, consistent basis throughout the week, while also providing patients with the ability to return home and maintain their routines after the day is done.
Who Can Benefit from a Senior Adult PHP?
Seniors who are struggling with mental health issues do not have to live that way. Help is out there for mental health issues such as:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Grief and loss
- Personality changes
- Memory issues
- And more
