Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) may be the perfect level of care for adults who can benefit from a structured treatment program, but who do not require round-the-clock care.
Who Can Participate in PHP?

PHP at Conway Behavioral Health Hospital is designed for adults aged 18 and above. If you meet one of the following criteria, PHP may be right for you:
- You have completed inpatient or residential programming but can benefit from step-down support as you transition out of care.
- You need a more intensive treatment experience than can be provided via intensive outpatient programming or traditional outpatient therapy, but your symptoms are not severe enough to require round-the-clock care.
As is the case with all levels of care at Conway, admissions decisions for PHP are made on a person-by-person basis.

How Does PHP Work?
Understand the fundamentals of our partial hospitalization program
At Conway, PHP services are offered five days per week, five hours each day, for eight weeks of treatment on Monday through Friday from 9:00am – 3:00pm. Most participants remain in PHP for about three weeks. Of course, as is the case with all types and levels of care at Conway, your time in PHP will be determined by what’s best for you.
Group therapy is the main means of treatment in PHP. You’ll participate in multiple groups during each treatment day. Groups can help you to learn more about the disorder that you’ve been experiencing and to develop the skills that will support your continued progress. The following are examples of topics that are addressed via groups in PHP:
- Symptom education
- Self-esteem
- Improving social skills
- Healthy alternative responses to triggers
- Anger management
- Communication
- Healthy relationships
- Managing symptoms
- Conflict resolution
- Regulating emotions
- Relaxation
- Creative arts
All groups are led by master’s-level clinicians or registered nurses (RNs).
You may also participate in family therapy sessions during your time in PHP. Frequency of family therapy will be determined by your needs and preferences.
If you are receiving prescription medications to help manage the symptoms of your disorder, you may also receive medication management services while you are in PHP with us.
