Senior Adult Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Heritage Oaks provides mental health treatment services for senior adults struggling with mental health issues.
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
