What happens once a patient is admitted to a partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, or
outpatient program at PIW?
-
Once admitted to the partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient program (PHP/IOP),
you will be introduced to a counselor who will guide you through the treatment process.
-
You will be given a handbook, a brief orientation of the treatment center, and a Health
Questionnaire that will be reviewed by the program nurse.
- Your counselor will conduct a psychosocial assessment.
- The psychiatrist will complete a psychiatric evaluation.
-
The treatment team will meet with you to develop a treatment plan, targeting specific
goals and behavior.
-
It is important to remember that PHP/IOP is group-focused. Individual contact with your
counselor will be arranged to do brief case management and to review treatment progress.
