Stepping stones

Magnolia Creek is excited to announce the opening of our Partial Hospitalization (also known as "day treatment") Program today. 

Partial hospitalization is designed for clients who are stepping down from inpatient or residential care or for clients who require a higher level of care than outpatient services are able to provide.

PHP Highlights

  • The program will typically run from 8:00 am - 4:30 pm on Monday through Friday. Clients whose families are participating in Tuesday evening programming will stay until 8:30 on Tuesdays.
  • As clients progress, they may step down to a 4-day a week program. If they require additional support, there is also a Saturday option.
  • Clients will be assigned a primary therapist and are expected to participate in both individual and group therapy. They will also meet regularly with the program’s medical director, nurse, and dietitian.
  • The program includes 2 meals a day plus snacks at Magnolia Creek. Clients will receive nutritional guidance, cooking instruction, and grocery vouchers to prepare evening and weekend meals.
  • Group and individual outings are regularly scheduled for PHP clients. There will also be "challenge activities" assigned during evenings and weekends as part of the treatment plan.
  • The PHP Program Coordinator is Lynn Eastman, RN. The program's medical director is Dr. Iona Shirley.
