There are many ways to heal from eating disorders and other behavioral health concerns. In many cases, the partial hospitalization program (PHP) environment can be an ideal space for women to successfully progress in their recovery.
To help meet you where you are in your recovery journey, Timberline Knolls offers a partial hospitalization program for women age 18 and older. Our PHP empowers women to live the lives they deserve.
Benefits of Partial Hospitalization Programming
If you are struggling with an eating disorder, a mental health concern, the effects of trauma, or a substance use disorder and you don’t seek professional help or programming, it can have a significant impact on your ability to function. The partial hospitalization program at Timberline Knolls can help you address the concerns that have disrupted your daily life.
There are countless benefits to choosing the PHP at Timberline Knolls, including:
- Structured environment: When you take part in our PHP, you will follow a structured schedule each day that ensures that you receive a high level of care.
- Flexible living arrangements: After each treatment day is over, you can go home or stay in one of our on-campus lodges.
- Real-life skill–building: You’ll have the opportunity to practice the skills and coping techniques you learn in our PHP in real-life environments and bring any learning back to the program.
Depending on your current needs, you may step down to our PHP from a higher level of care, or you may enter directly at the PHP level. Our expert staff can help you determine if our partial hospitalization program is the best fit for you or if you would benefit from a different level of care.
Supportive Living Environment
At the Timberline Knolls PHP, we offer supportive living housing options to our clients at an affordable cost. The supported housing environment advances our clients’ recovery journeys and compliments our Continuing Care Outpatient Program by offering individuals the structure and support of recovery- focused living. With our supportive housing, our clients have: access to staff support; comfortable housing accommodations; transportation to and from clinical programming, as well as 24/7 peer support.
The PHP Experience
We recognize that every woman who walks through our doors has a completely different life experience, medical history, and genetic background that can impact the way a behavioral health concern may affect them. That’s why we individualize care for every woman who takes part in the partial hospitalization program at Timberline Knolls.
With those influences in mind, you’ll take part in our partial hospitalization program five or seven days a week for up to three weeks depending on your specific needs and progress.
Elements of your care may include:
- Group, family, and individual therapies
- Experiential therapies
- Basic medical care
- Medication management
Topics addressed in group therapy sessions may include body image, medication education, the 12 Steps, and skill–building. Most women also take part in two individual therapy sessions and one family session a week, but we can schedule these sessions based on how you’re progressing in your recovery.
Evidence-Based Treatment Modalities
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Principles of recovery
- Acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT)
- Expressive therapy
- Motivational interviewing
- Solution-focused therapy
- Trauma-informed care
- Psychoeducation
Continuing Care
Making the decision to seek support for an eating disorder, a mood disorder, an addiction, or the effects of trauma is a life-changing step. But the days, weeks, and months after you complete the partial hospitalization program at Timberline Knolls are just as important as your time in our care.
We start creating your discharge plan within 48 hours after you begin taking part in our PHP so that we can provide you with the resources you need to continue your progress. Your continuing care plan will include recommendations for any necessary follow-up care, community resources, support groups, and information on the Timberline Knolls alumnae network.
With the expert care of the staff at Timberline Knolls, you can start living a healthier, more fulfilling life.
