At Marietta Springs, we believe everyone deserves a chance to get help, which is why our Mental Health Partial Hospitalization Program is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Marietta Springs' Modalities for Mental Health PHP
The mental health PHP at Marietta Springs offers various treatment approaches.
Individual Therapy
The experienced clinicians in individual therapy sessions create a safe environment for you to deeply examine your thoughts, emotions, and personal experiences. Your therapist will use individual therapy to help you identify your main problems, develop specific ways to address them, and establish reachable recovery targets. Your treatment plan starts with these sessions, which provide personalized therapeutic interventions tailored to your specific needs.
Group Therapy
Group therapy creates a healing space which enables people to find support by joining others who share their experiences. The sessions are conducted by experienced facilitators who assist participants in developing their interpersonal skills while showing them different perspectives and ensuring them that they face similar challenges. Group therapy members achieve long-term recovery through their collective experiences and mutual support system.
Family Therapy
Mental health problems affect the whole family system, so family members need to be involved for complete recovery. Family therapy sessions at our facility enable members to develop better communication skills while restoring trust between them and learning about mental health disorders. Learning supportive strategies and understanding family dynamics will enhance your recovery process when you recover at home.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) enables people to recognize and transform their harmful mental patterns, which produce their mental health symptoms. This evidence-based approach teaches practical skills for challenging distorted thinking and developing healthier behavioral responses. The program enables you to identify your triggers while teaching you alternative strategies for managing everyday difficulties through enhanced thinking techniques.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) uses cognitive-behavioral methods together with mindfulness and distress tolerance techniques, which show strong results in treating emotional dysregulation. The program delivers a complete training system which teaches clients to master four essential competencies: mindfulness skills, distress tolerance abilities, emotion regulation techniques, and interpersonal effectiveness methods.
ACT Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches you to accept difficult emotions and thoughts without fighting them while you take deliberate actions that align with your fundamental values. Through ACT, you learn psychological flexibility, which enables you to maintain focus on important activities even when you experience emotional distress. The treatment method delivers its best results when used to help patients manage anxiety and depression and treat trauma-related mental health conditions.
Holistic Therapies
Our holistic therapy methods treat mental health through a complete system which includes mindfulness practices, meditation, nutrition education, and stress management methods. These alternative treatments work to enhance general health by providing complete care for the entire being, which includes mental, physical, and spiritual aspects. Our treatment program integrates holistic methods which help you establish permanent lifestyle changes that support long-term mental health.
Experiential Therapy
Experiential Therapy employs actual life experiences to enable people to process their emotions and understand feelings which words fail to convey. The hands-on methods for emotional expression and self-discovery include art, music, movement, and outdoor activities. Experiential methods enable people to overcome their defensive responses, which leads to emotional healing at a deeper level.
REBT
The main goal of REBT is to identify and dispute irrational beliefs that cause emotional distress and lead to maladaptive behaviors. REBT teaches you to challenge self-defeating thoughts and replace them with more rational, helpful perspectives. The direct solution-oriented method enables you to develop improved emotional management abilities while building your emotional strength.
Psychoeducation
The process of learning about your mental health condition through psychoeducation helps you manage your condition better and achieve recovery. The psychoeducation sessions deliver complete information about symptoms and triggers, treatment choices, and coping methods. Knowledge empowers you to become an active participant in your treatment and make informed decisions about your mental health care.
Psychodrama
Through directed dramatic activities, Psychodrama creates new understanding by having patients reenact and take on roles to analyze their problems. The therapeutic method enables you to study various aspects of your experiences while learning new behaviors in a safe therapeutic space. The process of acting out situations helps people understand themselves better while managing their feelings and developing appropriate reactions to difficult circumstances.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapeutic method to reduce the emotional distress of traumatic memories. EMDR enables the brain to heal naturally through bilateral stimulation when patients recall distressing events. The evidence-based treatment method shows excellent results for PTSD, trauma, and anxiety disorders because it enables you to handle distressing memories which lose their control over your daily activities.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mental Health Partial Hospitalization
How is PHP different from inpatient mental health treatment?

The duration of client stabilization varies because some achieve stability between 4-6 weeks, but others need extended treatment periods. Our programs span 180 days across all care levels, and most clients achieve their most important progress points during the 60-90 day period. Your treatment team conducts ongoing assessments to establish the length of time you need to stay in the hospital.
