Mental Health PHP Program in Atlanta, GA

The Summit Wellness Group's primary mental health program for individuals diagnosed with mood disorders is a structured partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP) designed to provide comprehensive support and therapy for those experiencing significant emotional and psychological distress.

PHP serves as an intermediate level of care between inpatient hospitalization and traditional outpatient therapy. It offers a robust blend of therapeutic interventions and support services to help individuals stabilize their mood, develop coping strategies, and improve overall functioning.

Who Should Consider Our PHP Program

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for mood disorders is tailored explicitly for individuals struggling with mood disorders. The program aims to provide intensive therapeutic support while allowing participants to maintain their daily routines and live at home.

The following are the common mood disorders the program caters to:

  • Anxiety is characterized by excessive and persistent worry, fear, or anxiety that interferes with daily activities. Unlike the normal anxiety that everyone experiences from time to time, anxiety disorders are intense and can be debilitating.
  • Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is a common and severe mental health condition that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think, and how you act. It can lead to a range of emotional and physical problems and can decrease a person’s ability to function at work and home.
  • Bipolar Disorder, formerly known as manic-depressive illness, is characterized by extreme mood swings that include emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression). These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, behavior, judgment, and the ability to think clearly.
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by obsessions and compulsions that interfere with daily life.
  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can develop after an individual experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. This condition involves intense, disturbing thoughts and feelings related to the experience that persist long after the traumatic event has ended.

Goals of the Program

The following provides a more detailed understanding of our program’s goals, emphasizing the holistic and supportive approach taken to promote lasting recovery and well-being for our clients.

Our program is specifically designed for individuals aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with mood disorders and require intensive therapeutic support.

These individuals require a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy provides but do not need 24-hour inpatient care. Our program offers an intermediate level of support.

Stabilize Mood and Reduce the Severity of Symptoms

  • Mood Stabilization: One of our primary goals is to help you achieve and maintain a stable mood. This is crucial for reducing the highs and lows that can interfere with daily life and overall well-being. Through a combination of medication management, therapeutic interventions, and lifestyle modifications, we work to bring about a more balanced emotional state.
  • Symptom Reduction: We aim to significantly reduce the severity of symptoms you are experiencing, whether they are related to anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health conditions. Our comprehensive approach ensures that we address the immediate and underlying factors contributing to your symptoms, providing relief and promoting lasting change.

Develop Effective Coping Mechanisms and Resilience

  • Coping Skills: We equip you with various effective coping mechanisms tailored to your needs and challenges. These skills are essential for managing stress, reducing anxiety, and handling difficult emotions healthily and constructively.
  • Building Resilience: Besides coping strategies, our program focuses on building resilience—your ability to bounce back from setbacks and adapt to adversity. By fostering resilience, we help you develop a stronger mental and emotional framework to navigate life’s ups and downs.

Enhance Social and Interpersonal Skills

  • Social Skills Training: Our program includes targeted training to enhance social and interpersonal skills. Whether improving communication, developing empathy, or learning how to build and maintain healthy relationships, we provide the tools and support needed to thrive in social settings.
  • Peer Support: Through group therapy and other interactive sessions, you can practice and refine these skills in a safe and supportive environment, receiving feedback and encouragement from peers and facilitators alike.

Improve Overall Functioning and Quality of Life

  • Daily Functioning: Our interventions aim to improve your ability to function effectively. This includes enhancing your ability to perform routine tasks, manage responsibilities, and engage in meaningful activities.
  • Quality of Life: Beyond daily functioning, we are committed to improving your overall quality of life. This encompasses physical health, emotional well-being, and purpose and fulfillment. We address various aspects of your life to ensure a holistic improvement in your well-being.

Prepare for a Successful Transition to Outpatient Care or Other Appropriate Levels of Care

  • Transition Planning: As you progress through our program and achieve stability, we prepare you for a successful transition to outpatient care or other appropriate levels of care. This individualized planning ensures you have the necessary support and resources to continue your journey toward sustained recovery.
  • Continuity of Care: Ensuring continuity of care is vital. We provide detailed discharge plans, coordinate with outpatient providers, and offer follow-up services to ensure that you remain supported and on track even after the more intensive phase of treatment is complete.
