As anyone with a behavioral health diagnosis knows, many treatment options are available. Individuals with relatively mild symptoms may require weekly therapy, while there are those who can benefit from a stay at a residential facility or a psychiatric inpatient unit in moments of crisis. Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) fall in the middle of this continuum of behavioral healthcare and have long been considered a valuable option for individuals whose mental health symptoms are interfering significantly with daily life but who want to get better while falling asleep in their own bed each night.
Compass Health Center has been a leader in PHP treatment for over a decade. Working with countless clinical experts, we developed a comprehensive, tailored approach to care that includes a mix of group Compass Health Center has been a leader in PHP treatment for over a decade. Working with countless clinical experts, we developed a comprehensive, tailored approach to care that includes a mix of group therapy, individual therapy, family therapy, and psychiatric care. Each type of treatment is delivered by dedicated experts in their field and these clinicians work together as part of an integrated care team all focused on helping their patients improve and return as quickly as possible to their day-to-day lives.
In 2020, Compass Virtual began offering a 100% virtual PHP program across Illinois, which has been extremely well received by patients and Illinois providers alike. The program mirrors Compass’ in-person program but is adapted for a virtual setting, with many elements specifically designed to ensure engagement and prevent “Zoom fatigue.” Since launching, Compass Virtual has received patient/family satisfaction scores and quality ratings that are equivalent to in-person care options.
Compass Virtual has expanded care options by launching virtual Evening PHP starting at 3 PM CST each weekday. This program is designed for individuals whose behavioral health symptoms require PHP treatment but are unable to participate in morning programming for a wide range of reasons. The program, which opens June 6, 2022 (Compass Virtual will accept intake evaluations starting May 30th), delivers the full Compass Virtual Mood & Anxiety PHP program during the hours of 3 pm and 8 pm CST, Monday to Friday, and is available to patients 18 and older who will be residing in Illinois at the time of care.
“Compass’ Evening Partial Hospitalization Program is designed to provide flexibility to those unable to join morning programs. By enrolling in a program that begins in the late afternoon through the evening, these patients will no longer have to choose between getting the care they need and fulfilling their daily obligations.”
