General Summary of Position
Unit Highlights
The MedStar Georgetown Psychiatric
Partial Hospital Program (PPHP) is an intensive treatment program for people
with an acute psychiatric illness. It
supplements, but does not replace, the patient’s own psychiatrist and/or
therapist. Treatment is provided in
collaboration with these clinicians. The
program can be used as a transition for patients being discharged from an
inpatient hospitalization or as an intervention for patients who require more
intensive care than they can receive in the outpatient setting. A personalized
interdisciplinary treatment plan is provided to help patients gain control over
their symptoms and develop more effective coping skills. The staff meets three times a week to develop
the treatment plans for each patient, evaluate the efficacy of the treatment,
and to make additional recommendations upon completion of the treatment.
