Pembroke Hospital – Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Company Description

Pembroke Hospital’s Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Pembroke, Massachusetts provides structured daytime mental health treatment for teens who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require 24-hour residential care. PHP programs are often used as a step-down after inpatient hospitalization or as an intensive option when symptoms significantly interfere with school and daily functioning.

Pembroke Hospital describes its adolescent PHP as serving ages 13–18 and offering a highly structured schedule of therapeutic activities during the day, while allowing teens to return home in the evenings. This model can help families stay closely involved while a teen practices skills in real-world settings.

Families can typically expect a combination of group-based therapy and individualized clinical planning focused on stabilization, coping skills, and improving functioning at home, school, and with peers. Because partial hospitalization is time-intensive, programs often emphasize routine, accountability, and measurable treatment goals.

A helpful way to assess fit is to ask about the program’s weekly schedule, how clinicians involve caregivers in treatment planning, and what supports are provided for transition back to full-time school or to a lower level of care such as intensive outpatient services.

Pembroke Hospital is part of a behavioral health system that offers multiple levels of care, so families may also want to ask how PHP connects to other services if a teen needs more support or is ready to step down.

To learn more, caregivers can review Pembroke Hospital’s program overview online and contact the admissions team for current eligibility criteria and referral requirements.
