Partial Hospitalization
The Washington partial hospitalization programs in Washington are run by Centerville Clinics, Inc., and licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. The partial program services students grades 9–12 whose emotional and behavioral problems inhibit their ability to be successful in a community school setting.
Washington Partial program has one class — grades 9–12 — which can have a maximum of twelve students and are staffed with a teacher and a therapist. All educational services are provided by IU1.
The partial program is a mental health placement based on medical necessity; all students must have an Axis I affective diagnosis as well as a recommendation from a psychiatrist to be admitted into the program. The program is designed for students who need a higher level of mental health treatment than can be provided on an outpatient basis.
Students will participate in a therapeutic milieu where they receive three therapeutic groups daily and as much individual therapy as needed. A child psychiatrist is on-site two–three days a week to oversee treatment.
