Structured, Intensive Support, Without 24-Hour Hospitalization
Naveah Health Services’ Intensive Hospitalization Program (IHP) provides a highly structured and therapeutic level of mental health care for individuals experiencing significant psychiatric symptoms who require intensive treatment but do not need 24-hour inpatient hospitalization.
Our IHP delivers comprehensive, multidisciplinary care in a supportive clinical environment, allowing individuals to receive focused treatment during the day while returning home each evening. This model promotes stabilization while maintaining connection to family and community supports.
Who Our IHP Is Designed For
Our Intensive Hospitalization Program may be appropriate for individuals who are:
- Experiencing acute or worsening psychiatric symptoms that impair daily functioning
- Recently discharged from inpatient hospitalization or emergency services
- At increased risk of symptom escalation without intensive clinical intervention
- Living with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, psychotic disorders, or trauma-related conditions
- Needing structured support to prevent hospitalization
If weekly outpatient therapy is no longer sufficient, IHP provides a higher level of care in a safe, therapeutic setting.
Program Structure
Participants typically attend treatment five days per week for several hours per day. Each individual receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their clinical needs and recovery goals.
Services may include:
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
Ongoing medication management
Individual therapy sessions
Therapeutic group services
Family education and involvement (when appropriate)
Crisis stabilization and safety planning
Care coordination with external providers and community resources
Our multidisciplinary team collaborates closely to ensure treatment is structured, evidence-informed, and focused on measurable progress.
