Behavioral Health Partial Hospitalization

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers intensive, structured mental health day treatment for children and adolescents with complex emotional and co-occurring substance use challenges. Designed to bridge the continuum of care between inpatient and outpatient services, the program provides evidence-based therapeutic interventions during the day while allowing patients to maintain family and community connections in the evening. Therapeutic spaces include areas for group therapy, emotional regulation, and skill-building, as well as spaces that promote peer interaction.

Children’s Nebraska’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides intensive day treatment for children and adolescents who are experiencing moderate to significant emotional, behavioral or substance-related concerns that are impacting their ability to function at home, in school or in the community.

Our program is designed to support youth who need more structure and therapeutic intensity than traditional outpatient care, but who do not require 24-hour inpatient hospitalization. PHP offers a safe, supportive bridge that helps stabilize symptoms, strengthen coping skills and support a successful return to daily life.

Based on your child to teens needs, their personalized care plan may include an array of treatments.
