Partial Hospitalization Programs for Adults

Our partial hospitalization programs (PHP) for adults offer a middle ground between full inpatient hospitalization and an intensive outpatient program, providing the structure and support needed for mental health recovery.

Ascent Mental Health Partial Hospitalization Program in the Denver Metro Area

Ascent is Highlands Behavioral Health System’s partial hospitalization program, often called PHP. This program is for adults and serves individuals dealing with mental and emotional disorders. It may be an alternate option when conventional outpatient therapy is not sufficient or for those transitioning out of inpatient care.
