Our Evanston Clarity Clinic location offers both Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Programs. These therapeutic programs are crafted to offer group-based treatment options for individuals contending with acute psychiatric symptoms or grappling with mental health disorders.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides more intensive treatment than our IOP. Participants attend group treatment sessions for four hours a day, five days a week, allowing participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. PHP offers a higher level of support and structure than IOP. In addition to the mandatory 20 hours of weekly group sessions, participants in the PHP program must allocate extra time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as advised, and psychiatric monitoring.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP) involves participants attending group treatment sessions for three hours a day, three to five days a week depending on the participant's assessed needs. Participants can return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the required 9-15 hours per week of group sessions, the IOP program necessitates allocating extra time for individual therapy and optional medication management.
At Clarity Clinic Evanston, our PHP and IOP Programs are dedicated to providing essential mental health support, aiming to stabilize individuals with comprehensive psychiatric and therapeutic care. We emphasize the teaching of coping skills and strategies for managing recurrences, supporting individuals in their journey toward wellness. These programs offer a viable alternative to inpatient hospitalization, offering a step-up for those requiring additional support without the intensity of acute care. Moreover, they facilitate a step-down from acute care, allowing individuals to access essential support while remaining connected to their communities and support networks.
Our Evanston Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a more comprehensive level of care compared to our IOP Program. Our PHP Program takes place from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, 20 hours per week. Based on individual circumstances, it's often advisable for individuals to consider taking a break from school and/or work to prioritize their mental health treatment. Our patients engage daily in a combination of group and individual therapy sessions facilitated by our licensed therapists.
In addition to the 20-hours a week of group work that this program requires, PHP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as recommended, and psychiatric monitoring.
During your initial day, you'll have the chance to meet your treatment team, familiarize yourself with the program, and gain insight into the treatment process. Additionally, you'll engage in group sessions and receive information regarding the program's structure, weekly schedules, and upcoming group activities. Please be aware that grab-and-go meals will be provided for your convenience during group sessions.
The length of PHP treatment is determined by individual progress, with the goal typically being a transition to IOP, representing a less intensive level of behavioral health care.
Our Evanston Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides invaluable support for individuals navigating mental health challenges. The PHP program at Clarity Clinic provides a structured and supportive environment for individuals to engage in intensive therapy and treatment while remaining connected to their daily lives. Tailored to individual needs, PHP offers personalized care through group therapy, individual counseling, optional medication management, and skill-building exercises.
Going beyond traditional outpatient therapy, PHP offers heightened support, allowing patients to address their mental health challenges in a therapeutic setting while returning home daily. Serving as a pivotal step in the recovery journey, PHP empowers individuals to develop coping mechanisms, build resilience, and establish a solid foundation for long-term mental well-being.
Clarity Clinic's Evanston Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a short term treatment approach with sessions lasting three hours per day from 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm, three to five days per week depending on the participant's assessed needs. Patients can prioritize their mental health while still managing work, school, and daily responsibilities at home.
In addition to the structured 9-15 hours a week of group work that this program requires, IOP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as recommended, and psychiatric monitoring.
During your initial day, you'll have the opportunity to meet your treatment team, familiarize yourself with the program, and gain insights into the treatment process. Additionally, you'll engage in group sessions and receive comprehensive information about the program structure, weekly schedules, and forthcoming group activities. Please note that grab-and-go meals will be available for you to enjoy during group sessions.
Our Evanston Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) presents numerous benefits for those in need of mental health assistance. Within the IOP framework, patients can uphold their daily routines, including work, school, and family commitments, while receiving comprehensive therapeutic support. The structured nature of IOP sessions creates a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges, incorporating individual therapy, group therapy, and skill-building activities.
This program equips individuals with coping strategies, enhances their support network through group participation, and fosters a sense of belonging. Moreover, IOP serves as a pivotal step in the recovery journey, bridging the transition between intensive treatment settings and independent living, while offering ongoing support and strategies for preventing relapse.
At Clarity Clinic, we understand that each individual's journey and mental health objectives are unique. Our dedicated team is committed to assisting you in selecting the treatment program that aligns best with your specific needs.
Upon expressing interest in our Evanston PHP/IOP services, our intake coordinators will conduct a thorough evaluation lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. Following this assessment, you will receive a comprehensive evaluation report detailing expert recommendations on the most suitable treatment approach for you.
As treatment progresses, programs can be modified from PHP to IOP or vice versa to ensure the best fit for your evolving needs.
