Partial Hospitalization Program In Phoenix, Arizona
Support for Teens.
Peace of Mind for Parents.
The Rosemary Tree’s Adolescent PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) offers a powerful path to healing for teens who need more than weekly therapy, without the need for overnight stays.
This five-day-a-week program provides 20+ hours of therapeutic care, blending clinical excellence with creative, play-based modalities that teens actually connect with. We guide them through emotional highs and lows using evidence-based practices like DBT, EMDR, and family systems therapy, all in a setting that feels more like a supportive community than a clinical environment.
What is PHP:
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers a structured, intensive mental health treatment option foradolescents. Operating five days a week, PHP provides the support of a hospital program without overnightstays. It helps clients balance recovery with daily life, promoting independence and resilience.
How PHP works:
Participants receive at least 20 hours of care weekly, including personalized therapy for the individual and family, academic guidance, and psychiatric support. Our program utilizes a variety of modalities including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), family systems, and trauma-informed care (EMDR).
Exiting the program:
The program fosters a sense of community, where clients connect and support each other in their journey to recovery. We ensure a smooth transition to less intensive services, like our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), to support long-term recovery and independence.
NOTE: Our IOP is in-network with BCBS, Aetna and Cigna.

Resources and Guides for Parents
When Weekly Therapy Isn’t Enough: How Adolescent IOP and PHP Help Teens Heal Faster
If you’ve ever walked out of your teen’s weekly therapy session wondering, “Is one hour a week really enough?”, you’re not alone. Many parents see progress, but also notice their teen’s struggles spilling into daily life: panic attacks that don’t wait for next Tuesday’s session, school stress that feels overwhelming, or nights spent worrying if they’re truly safe.
For some adolescents, weekly therapy simply isn’t enough. That’s when Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) can help teens heal faster, providing the structure and support they need to stabilize.
Why Weekly Therapy Sometimes Isn’t Enough
Weekly therapy may fall short if your teen is
Having frequent panic attacks, depressive episodes, or self-harm urges
Refusing school or watching grades decline despite support
Withdrawing from family and friends
Needing repeated crisis calls, ER visits, or urgent interventions
Stuck in symptoms for months with little improvement
If you recognize these patterns, it may be time to consider a higher level of care.
What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
An IOP is a step up from weekly therapy without requiring hospitalization. At The Rosemary Tree, our adolescent IOP offers:
3–5 days per week of structured therapy
Group sessions that build emotional regulation and peer connection
Weekly individual therapy for personalized growth
Family counseling to improve communication at home
Evidence-based treatments like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care
IOPs allow teens to keep attending school and sleep at home while receiving intensive therapeutic support.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?
A PHP provides the most intensive outpatient care, almost like inpatient, but your teen returns home each evening.
Our PHP includes:
5 days per week, 6+ hours daily of therapeutic programming
Individual, group, and family therapy
Psychiatric care and medication management when appropriate
Experiential therapies like art, mindfulness, and nature-based therapy
Academic support to prevent falling behind in school
PHP is best for teens who need daily structure and monitoring but not 24/7 hospitalization.
How IOP and PHP Help Teens Recover Faster
Compared to weekly therapy, IOP and PHP give teens:
Daily opportunities to practice coping skills
Quicker stabilization of anxiety, depression, and risky behaviors
Peer support that reduces feelings of isolation
Consistent family involvement to strengthen home dynamics
A customized plan for faster, lasting recovery
Parents often see progress in weeks, not months, because therapy isn’t just a weekly check-in, it’s ongoing, structured healing.
