Partial Hospitalization Services at Gallahue Community Mental Health Center, is a Day and Evening Therapy Program, which serves adults in acute emotional crisis. These short-term, intensive programs primarily serve as treatment alternatives to inpatient care while patients continue to reside in their own homes in the community. They also provide a more intensive therapeutic experience than is generally possible with traditional outpatient treatment. Therapeutic community and crisis intervention models have contributed heavily to the prevailing treatment approach. Group treatment is emphasized and finds application in a diversity of process-oriented and psychoeducational sessions.
Trainees join the treatment team in a variety of therapist and co-therapist roles.
