Partial Hospitalization Day Treatment (PHP)
Living with a mental health disorder can be debilitating. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, ADHD, post-traumatic stress disorders, OCD, substance or alcohol use disorders, or any other mental illness, you may be feeling lost. When we think of your journey, we know you are the pilot, and Solstice Pacific is a great co-pilot. We will help you treat yourself as a whole, integrated person, not just a combination of symptoms, labels or diagnoses.
Our Partial Hospitalization Day Treatment program enlivens the thinking, believing, communicating patterns that let the light in for healing. There is no use in you self-medicating with any pattern or in us piloting your healthcare journey. You were made for autonomy, self-determination, and independence. Freedom is closer than you think. We will be there for you when things get tough, and we will assist you in breathing new life into what appear to be impossible patterns and pain.
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is an outpatient program specifically designed for the diagnosis or active treatment of a serious mental disorder. Partial hospitalization is not a replacement for inpatient treatment - it may reduce the length of time in full hospitalization, act as a transition from inpatient to outpatient care for some patients, or allow them to entirely avoid hospitalization. In just 6-8 hours a day, you will treat your thought disorder, depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, and other conditions, one millimeter at a time. Our trauma-informed team assists you in taking the steps you are ready for while also developing the skills you need to scale your healing journey without leaving parts of yourself behind.
Partial hospitalization is particularly helpful in treating alcohol and substance use disorders as well - this program offers extensive monitoring to ensure that you are comfortable during the detox process. Patients get substance addiction treatment during the day, including group therapy, individual counseling, case management, and medical evaluations.
PHP is most suitable for patients who are unable to commit to inpatient treatment due to work, school, or family obligations. This program gives you enough freedom to soothe your mind while still allowing you to focus on what matters most throughout treatment: becoming clean and staying sober in the long run. However, because PHP is more flexible, patients must have a strong support network of friends and family members who are deeply invested in their recovery.
Solstice Pacific, the leading outpatient mental health treatment center in Orange County, offers personalized treatment to build you up as the pilot who can face any cloud, turbulence, or storm that you may face. This level of care allows clients to stay onsite all day and get therapy, but then have the ability to return home and sleep in their own bed at night.
In addition, Solstice Pacific is accredited to treat Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), a testament to our commitment to providing comprehensive care for individuals facing this complex condition—this accreditation further underscores our dedication to excellence in behavioral health services.

Addressing Attention and Focus in Partial Hospitalization Programs
Many parents are concerned about their children's ability to concentrate in the digital age. Research suggests that excessive use of tablets, smartphones, and other devices can lead to “digital dementia,” a term describing the deterioration of cognitive function due to overexposure to digital technology.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that children who use digital devices for more than two hours a day have a significantly higher risk of developing symptoms associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)—this highlights the importance of addressing attention and focus issues in mental health treatment.
At Solstice, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides intensive support for individuals struggling with mental health challenges, including those related to attention and focus. Our program incorporates evidence-based therapies and holistic approaches to help clients develop healthier coping mechanisms and improve their cognitive function.
Our program incorporates:
- Therapeutic interventions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address attention-related challenges and enhance coping skills.
- Holistic approaches. Mindfulness practices, nutritional guidance, and physical activities to mitigate the negative effects of digital distractions and promote overall well-being.
- Education on digital use. Helping clients understand the potential impacts of excessive screen time and electromagnetic radiation (EMF) from devices, emphasizing the importance of balanced technology use.
By addressing the underlying issues related to attention and focus, our Partial Hospitalization Program aims to empower individuals with the tools they need to manage their mental health effectively. We create a supportive environment that fosters recovery, helping clients navigate the complexities of modern life while prioritizing their mental well-being.
