At Bold Steps New Hampshire, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is designed to support a range of issues that may be facing those seeking help. This level of care is often suited to individuals who require more structured support than traditional outpatient services. Whether grappling with substance use disorders, managing mental health challenges, or navigating the complexities of dual diagnosis, PHP is crafted to address diverse needs. Our aim is to equip individuals with the tools and resources they need, offering a safe environment to work through difficulties with expert guidance.
Substance abuse can profoundly disrupt lives, making the path to recovery seem daunting. PHP at Bold Steps NH provides a structured framework to address these challenges. In PHP, individuals receive intensive treatment tailored to their specific substance use issues. Participants attend daily therapy and skill-building sessions. This daily support helps solidify healthier habits and creates a supportive community where individuals can relate to others facing similar struggles. Our program focuses on developing coping strategies and understanding underlying factors that contribute to substance use, paving the way for lasting recovery.
Mental health struggles can feel overwhelming, impacting every aspect of life. Our PHP caters to individuals dealing with various mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. With daily therapeutic interventions, PHP offers a balanced approach to recovery. Participants engage in individual therapy and group sessions designed to foster understanding and mastery over their mental health. Our experienced team conducts thorough psychiatric evaluations and provides medication management to ensure comprehensive care. The goal is to help individuals regain stability and confidence in managing their mental health journey.
For those dealing with both mental health issues and substance use disorders, known as dual diagnosis, finding the right support is crucial. Our PHP is specially equipped to handle these complex cases. Dual diagnosis requires integrated treatment that addresses both problems simultaneously. At Bold Steps NH, participants benefit from coordinated care that includes behavioral therapies, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management. This holistic approach ensures that each aspect of their condition is treated concurrently, offering a more complete path to recovery. By focusing on both mental health and addiction, PHP provides a robust framework for success.
At Bold Steps New Hampshire, our Partial Hospitalization Program is structured to provide comprehensive mental health support through a variety of modules and session types. These are carefully crafted to cater to diverse needs and ensure a holistic approach to healing. You’ll find that each day is filled with thoughtfully designed activities to address your mental health issues. Sessions are led by experienced professionals who guide you through therapeutic processes tailored to improve mental well-being. Here’s a closer look at some of the key modules you’ll engage with:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a core module in our PHP. It’s specifically designed to help you with emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. In DBT sessions, you’ll learn to balance emotions with rational thinking, leading to more stable decisions. These sessions also focus on distress tolerance, which means you’ll gain skills in handling difficult situations without panic. Regular DBT practice helps in building deep, lasting changes in behavior. With guidance, you’ll practice mindfulness and become more aware of your thoughts and feelings. This awareness forms the foundation for making positive life changes.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a powerful tool for changing negative thought patterns. In our PHP, CBT sessions help you understand the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying negative thought patterns, you learn to shift your perspective. This shift can lead to more constructive behaviors and improved mental health. Our therapists guide you in setting reachable goals, offering practical strategies for everyday challenges. CBT is also effective for anxiety and depression management, as it empowers you to face your fears and reduce avoidance behaviors. Each session builds on the last, reinforcing your progress.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is another significant aspect of our program. This therapy aims to process and resolve traumatic memories, helping to alleviate the distress they cause. In EMDR sessions, you’ll engage in guided eye movements while recalling distressing events. This process helps the brain reframe and store these memories differently, reducing their emotional impact. EMDR is particularly beneficial for those with PTSD and other trauma-related issues. As you participate in EMDR therapy, you’ll notice a significant decrease in symptoms and a newfound ability to handle stressors effectively, paving the way for healing and recovery.
At Bold Steps New Hampshire, the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is more than just scheduled therapy sessions. It is a transformational journey towards mental wellness. The goals of our PHP are clear and focused on empowering individuals:
