Partial Hospitalization Program in Fort Myers

The partial hospitalization program at Park Royal Hospital is designed for adults who need a higher level of care than what is typically available at the traditional outpatient level. Our PHP services can also support patients who are ready to step down from an inpatient program but need additional help transitioning back to daily life. 

Our PHP welcomes adults and senior adults who can benefit from behavioral health support in a safe and caring environment. To help our patients access care in the way that may be best for them, we offer our PHP services both on-site as well as virtually.  

Adults and seniors who take part in our PHP usually participate in care for about two to four weeks. However, a person’s exact length of time in our program may depend on their unique needs. When you take part in our partial hospitalization program, you will typically engage in intensive daily programming, which includes about five group therapy sessions each day.

At Park Royal, we provide highly individualized care for each person who participates in our PHP. Our staff works hard to ensure that the admissions process is thorough and streamlined, allowing us to help people access personalized support as easily as possible. To find out whether our partial hospitalization program may be right for you, we encourage you to contact our admissions team today.  

Our virtual and on-site PHP services provide structured programming for adults who are struggling with a variety of behavioral health concerns. Disorders we commonly treat in our partial hospitalization program for adults and seniors include: 

• Anxiety 
• Bipolar disorder 
• Depression 
• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
• Co-occurring substance use disorders 

The professionals who provide care in our PHP primarily include our team of qualified therapists. Patients may also receive medication management services as part of their personalized care plan, which usually involves meeting with a psychiatrist once a week and receiving regular support from our nursing staff. 

Our PHP staff members are skilled in delivering compassionate, high-quality care, and they work as a team to help inspire and encourage each patient on their personal path to healing. 

Our Fort Myers partial hospitalization program uses a range of therapeutic modalities to help patients achieve positive outcomes as they work toward better health. Our modalities include: 

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) 
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) 
• Individual therapy, which is available on an as-needed basis 
• Group therapy sessions, which occur daily

At Park Royal Hospital, we believe that each patient has the potential to improve their well-being and achieve a healthier life. We’ve designed our PHP therapies to give each person the tools that can promote healing for them. 

At Park Royal Hospital, we believe in the value of group therapy, as it can allow patients to come together in a safe environment and learn from each other while also exchanging support.  

Group therapy can also serve as a valuable opportunity for people to understand that they are not alone in their efforts to heal from the behavioral health challenges they have been facing. In group therapy, patients can find relief from any feelings of isolation or shame they may be struggling with.

Group therapy sessions with peers may also help provide you with fresh motivation to pursue your therapeutic goals and make positive changes in your life. 

When your time in our virtual or on-site PHP ends, you can receive referrals and step-down care recommendations that are designed to suit your unique needs. The multidisciplinary staff at Park Royal Hospital will develop your personalized discharge plan during your time in our PHP so that they are ready to guide you to the next phase of your healing journey when treatment ends. 

It’s important to our staff to provide continuity of care and to equip you with the resources you need to be successful in the future. Some adults and seniors who participate in our PHP may step down to our intensive outpatient program, while others may access services like outpatient therapy, medication management, and aftercare support groups.
