Intense PHP & IOP
PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM (PHP)
Bright Path is now offering a full-service nature-based Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Sandy Springs, Georgia, Hiawassee, Georgia and Kingfield, Maine. The program draws from evidence-based therapeutic modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT). The program also incorporates calming effects of nature, mindfulness, yoga, and Somatic Therapy which uses body awareness, breathing, and movement exercises to release stored tension and emotions, as well as conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, depression and chronic pain.
The PHP program provides a more intensive, structured environment with more daily hours of therapy, while IOP offers more flexibility with fewer daily hours and a focus on balancing treatment with daily responsibilities. The PHP program is a bridge between in-patient and less intensive out-patient care, providing a more structured and intensive level of support.
