: Dual Diagnosis Partial Hospital
Oaklawn’s Dual Diagnosis Partial Hospital (PPH) program is
offered Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m.- 3 p.m. and includes lunch.
The program is located at 330 Lakeview Drive, Goshen. DPH offers
a supportive, safe setting where participants interact with staff
and each other, expressing feelings and experiences.
The average length of stay in DPH is 2-3 weeks, but may vary according
to a person’s individual goals and treatment plan.
Program components include group psychotherapy, art and recreation
therapy, goal-setting, progress reporting, psycho-education, and
medication management. Individual, marital and family sessions are
scheduled as needed.
The DPH staff includes a multi-disciplinary team of professionals:
psychiatrist, addictions physician, psychologist, social worker,
psychiatric nurse, activities therapist and chaplain.
Criteria for admission
People who are best helped by the Dual Diagnosis Partial Hospital
Program are those with a psychoactive substance use disorder and
one of the following:
- emotional or behavioral condition that makes it difficult for
the person to remain stable for over 72 hours;
- an emotional or behavioral disorder which interferes with the
person’s daily living functions;
- emotional or behavioral condition that creates a threat to
family members because of the addiction;
- resistance to treatment which interferes with the ability to
stay abstinent and requires daily intervention;
- potential relapse signaled by behaviors or history or relapse
after less intensive treatment;
- an environment at home or work that interferes with recovery.
Benefits of the program
- Patients participate in intensive, structured treatment during
the day, but may continue to live at home, giving them opportunity
to immediately apply the insights they have gained.
- The program can be an excellent transition to outpatient therapy
when 24-hour care is not medically necessary.
- A lower daily rate can allow a longer length of stay with a
significantly lower total cost than for inpatient treatment.
- The program is flexible, with 24-hour monitoring and care available
for detoxification, then partial hospital services offered according
to individual needs.
