Partial Hospitalization Program

For patients who need intensive treatment for psychiatric illness but do not need the 24-hour care of an overnight hospital stay, Mount Sinai South Nassau Mental Health Counseling Center offers an alternative: the Partial Hospitalization Program. “Partial” refers to the fact that we provide treatment in a highly structured environment, but only during the day.

This short-term program, based in Baldwin, N.Y., can help people shorten or even avoid an inpatient hospital stay. Experts here offer ongoing intensive support while you continue to live at home, where you can maintain independence and ties to your community and loved ones.
