Adult Partial Hospitalization
Rogers Memorial Hospital offers partial hospitalization treatment services for adults dealing with a range of psychiatric symptoms and diagnoses. The treatment program is offered five days per week and provides an intensive daily therapy structure utilizing evidence-based treatment components. The primary goal of partial hospitalization is to improve symptoms and daily functioning while allowing individuals to remain connected with their family and other social support systems.

Admissions and Insurance Coverage
This partial hospitalization service can effectively treat adult males and females who meet the following criteria:
- Have a primary psychiatric diagnosis
- Demonstrate a willingness to receive treatment and a desire to recover
- Have been declared medically stable by a licensed physician
- Meet admitting criteria for partial hospitalization
An initial screening with the prospective patient starts the admission process. Based on a review of this screening, a psychiatrist will recommend an appropriate level of care. After the review, admissions staff will share the psychiatrist’s recommendation with the individual.
As a courtesy to prospective patients, admissions staff will contact the individual’s insurance carrier to obtain a quote of insurance benefits. Benefit availability, service providers, and medical necessity criteria vary with each insurance plan. We recommend that potential patients check with their medical insurance carrier to determine what is covered and if there are any exclusions. After admission, patient care specialists can provide assistance with remaining questions or concerns.

Continuing Care and Discharge Planning
With proper consents the treatment team works closely with the referring professionals to communicate treatment progress and assist in making discharge plans. If necessary, staff will assist with locating resources needed to provide continuing care.
The treatment team monitors each patient’s progress and level of participation. If, based on the patient’s behavior, the program is no longer a helpful or appropriate form of treatment, or if the patient needs a different level of care, then the treatment team will explore options with the patient and his/her family.
