Brook Lane offers this day treatment program on the main campus for both adults and children & adolescents. PHP allows an individual to attend a short-term structured therapeutic program during the day and return home in the evening.
The average stay is one to two weeks. Individuals appropriate for PHP include those who may have one or more of the following symptoms:
- Non-suicidal serious self-injury
- Withdrawal from school and/or social activities
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Suffering effects of psychiatric disorders
- Thoughts of violence towards others
Upon admission to the PHP, individuals receive a thorough assessment of their psychiatric and behavioral needs. Personalized treatment plans may include individual, group, and family therapy as well as medication management. Our multi-disciplinary treatment team meets routinely to review and modify the treatment plans.
Our Multi-Disciplinary Treatment Team Includes:
- Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners
- Maryland licensed clinicians
- Psychiatric nurses
- Mental health associates
- Other professionals such as chaplains, dietitians, art therapists, or addictions counselors
Patient education is an important element of the program and focuses on understanding wellness, feelings, self-esteem, social skills, anger management, assertiveness, problem solving, and behavior modification. Group and individual therapies reinforce these educational themes. The program utilizes focus-driven groups to help patients cope with anxiety, anger management, and issues of daily life.
Participants in the child & adolescent program receive assistance in completing assignments from their home school that they may have missed due to hospitalization or other emergency situations. Patients in both programs leave with a plan for continued care. This may involve arranging therapy and medication management appointments and additional community services for the patient and family.
