Moosic’s Trusted Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Patial hospitalization may be suitable for individuals who: 

• Are experiencing significant mental health symptoms that make it difficult to manage personal responsibilities or maintain relationships with others 
• Need intensive support but do not require 24/7 supervision 
• Are ready and willing to participate in therapeutic programming 
• Need a structured setting to focus on their mental health 
• Live in a stable home environment 
• Need a step-down option after completing a higher level of care  

Our PHP for adolescents and adults blends clinical expertise with compassionate care to foster healing and growth. Those who participate in this program can benefit from the following features: 

• Access to a range of resources and a highly skilled team 
• Medical and therapeutic support to nurture both mind and body 
• Helpful tools and strategies to manage stress effectively 
• A sense of community that reduces feelings of isolation 
• Educational guidance to foster autonomy and informed decision-making 

In our partial hospitalization program, we offer a variety of therapies and services, including: 

• Group therapy: Collaborative sessions that foster open communication and mutual support 
• Individual therapy: One-on-one sessions with a licensed therapist to address personal struggles 
• Family therapy: Opportunities for families to participate in the healing process and learn how they can best support their loved ones 
• Experiential therapy: Hands-on activities that encourage self-expression 
• Medication management: Oversight and adjustment of medication by medical professionals to optimize health and well-being 

We may also incorporate a variety of research-supported methods to help patients make meaningful progress and build a foundation for long-term success. Depending on individual needs, these may include: 

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Focuses on reshaping negative thinking patterns to promote healthier coping mechanisms and goal-directed behavior 
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Equips individuals with strategies for managing intense emotions, staying calm in stressful situations and communicating ideas and feelings clearly and respectfully  
• Motivational interviewing (MI): Encourages introspection and commitment to change, empowering individuals to make choices that align with their values and aspirations 

When searching for places to receive mental health support, it’s important to consider factors like: 

• The expertise of their team members 
• Their approach to care 
• The overall atmosphere of the center 

At Geisinger Behavioral Health Center Northeast, our team is dedicated to delivering the highest quality of care for our patients. We recognize and honor the individuality of each person and strive to make their experience positive and transformative. 

Here’s what makes us a trusted choice: 

• Therapeutic setting: Our hospital offers a calming and supportive setting, with dedicated spaces for therapy, recreation and quiet reflection. 
• Evidence-based care: We apply the latest research and best practices to address mental health concerns in ways that have proved effective. 
• Comprehensive support: While a diagnosis is a helpful tool, it doesn’t capture a person’s full story. We provide care that goes beyond symptom management to address all aspects of our patients’ well-being.  
• Strengths-based philosophy: We believe in identifying and nurturing the inherent strengths of each individual, empowering them to build resilience and achieve their goals. 
• Community connections: Patients can benefit from a wide range of services and community connections within the Geisinger Health Network. 

By placing our patients at the center of everything we do, we aim to help them lead fulfilling lives.
