Transitioning From PHPs To IOPs For Mental Health Recovery: Guide Released

Mission Connection (866-711-1328), a mental health treatment provider with offices in California, Washington, and Virginia, has released a new guide to aftercare arrangements following a partial hospitalization program.

-- The new guide is intended for patients who have completed their current treatment plan and are beginning the transition process from a partial hospitalization program to an intensive outpatient program. In the guide, Mission Connection covers the signs that patients are ready to move onto the next phase of their treatment, as well as the changes they can expect.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a type of outpatient treatment program that provides individuals with a high level of structured support, usually for four to six hours a day for a minimum of five days a week. It is the most intensive of non-residential programs and is often recommended for patients transitioning from inpatient to outpatient treatments, those with severe mental health symptoms that interfere with daily life, or those who are at risk of a mental health relapse.

Mission Connection’s guide says that intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are a step down from PHPs, offering a similar level of structured care and supervision without the same time commitments. As part of these programs, patients typically attend treatment for two to three hours a day for a minimum of three days a week, allowing them the flexibility to carry out daily activities such as work or school. IOPs may be recommended as part of a standalone treatment program, but they are also used to help patients in PHPs transition smoothly to a lower level of care so that they can gradually adjust to life outside of intensive treatment, while still having access to therapy - making them helpful for maintaining progress and preventing relapses.

Mission Connection’s guide notes that a patient may be ready to move into an IOP after developing adequate coping skills from a PHP; those who are more capable of managing their symptoms independently or notice they are functioning better in daily life may consider the transition. Additionally, individuals who have developed a robust support network may benefit from a less intensive program, as they have more resources beyond treatment. Finally, the client’s treatment team may recommend a transfer to a lower level of care if they feel that the patient has made significant progress toward recovery.
