Partial Hospitalization Program
(PHP) for Women in
Fort Lauderdale
Intensive Healing Without Leaving Your Life Behind
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides the highest level of outpatient mental health care available — offering structured, intensive treatment 5 days per week while allowing you to return home each evening. At IKANN Wellness, our PHP is designed exclusively for women navigating complex mental health challenges who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy can provide, but who don’t require 24-hour residential care.
What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program?
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured, intensive level of mental health treatment that bridges the gap between inpatient hospitalization and standard outpatient therapy. Sometimes called "day treatment," PHP provides comprehensive clinical care during the day — typically 5–6 hours — while allowing you to return to your home, family, and community each evening.
At IKANN Wellness, our PHP is not a one-size-fits-all program. We create individualized treatment plans that address your specific diagnoses, trauma history, life circumstances, and recovery goals.
Who Is PHP For?
Our PHP is designed for women who:
- Are stepping down from inpatient or residential treatment and need continued intensive support
- Are experiencing a mental health crisis that requires more than weekly therapy
- Have been diagnosed with co-occurring disorders (e.g., depression + substance use, PTSD + anxiety)
- Need medication stabilization under close psychiatric supervision
- Have tried outpatient therapy without sufficient improvement
- Are first responders, teachers, or professionals whose work has led to severe burnout or trauma
