Comprehensive Care for Young Adults at Our Stamford Outpatient Location

Our Stamford program provides both IOP and PHP options to meet the needs of our community. Here’s the difference between young adult PHP and young adult IOP:

  • Partial Hospitalization Program: Full-day programming, 5 days a week, with a structured schedule of therapy, life skills training, and group activities, like art, music, and Adventure Therapy
  • Intensive Outpatient Program: Partial-day programming, typically in the afternoon or evening, with individual, group, and family therapy—so young adults can continue with school or work outside of treatment
