Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an intensive, full-day outpatient level of care for significant mental health symptoms while you live at home. At Moment of Clarity in Santa Ana, our PHP provides structured treatment five days per week with a licensed multidisciplinary team. Services include psychiatrist visits, medication management, individual therapy, group therapy, and skills training grounded in CBT and DBT. Trauma-informed care, EMDR, and family or couples sessions are integrated as clinically appropriate. This PHP Orange County option helps you stabilize, reduce crises, and build sustainable coping strategies close to your community.
Care is personalized through a comprehensive intake and ongoing measurement-based assessments. We serve adults from Orange County and surrounding cities like Huntington Beach, Irvine, Anaheim, Long Beach, and Costa Mesa, as well as Los Angeles, Riverside County, and San Diego for those able to commute. Adjunctive treatments such as TMS, ketamine-assisted therapy, and Spravato may be incorporated when indicated and safe. Veterans and pregnant or postpartum patients receive specialized support. You can begin with a gentle phone consultation at 949-625-0564 to determine fit and next steps.
Most clients attend PHP Monday through Friday for about six hours per day. Each day typically includes a check-in group, skills-based groups rooted in CBT and DBT, and process groups that build insight and support. You will meet with our psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner at regular intervals for evaluation and medication management. Individual therapy and EMDR sessions are scheduled weekly as clinically appropriate. Breaks are planned, and we encourage bringing lunch and staying hydrated.
Case management coordinates outside providers, school or work accommodations, and family participation when helpful. Optional teletherapy components may support continuity if transportation is a barrier, with in-person visits maintained for medical services like Spravato. Safety planning is reviewed routinely, and we set clear weekly goals that are tracked with standardized measures. Our Orange County clinic welcomes clients from Santa Ana, Tustin, Garden Grove, and nearby communities. To discuss scheduling and insurance verification, call 949-625-0564.
What to Expect Each Week
PHP is appropriate when symptoms are acute but do not require 24/7 inpatient care. It is often a step-down after hospitalization or residential treatment, or a step-up from weekly therapy or IOP when more structure is needed. Candidates can participate safely in a daytime setting with reliable transportation and housing. Common concerns include severe depression, escalating anxiety or panic, trauma symptoms, bipolar instability, suicidal ideation without current intent or plan, and psychosis that is stable with treatment. A no-cost clinical assessment helps confirm fit.
Our team evaluates risk, medical needs, learning style, and support systems to determine level of care. We collaborate with you and your family or partner, and with outside prescribers or therapists when applicable. Veterans and active-duty military, as well as pregnant and postpartum patients, receive tailored protocols and coordination with obstetric or VA providers. If PHP is not the safest option, we guide you to an appropriate setting and stay connected for continuity. Speak with our admissions team at 949-625-0564 for a thoughtful recommendation.
We treat a wide range of mental health conditions with individualized plans that reflect your goals and culture. Our clinicians have expertise in depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar spectrum conditions, trauma and PTSD, borderline personality disorder traits, schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and eating disorders appropriate for outpatient care. We also support adults with autism who benefit from structured skills training and sensory-informed approaches. Veterans and perinatal clients receive specialized protocols that integrate trauma-informed and reproductive mental health care. As symptoms stabilize, your team prepares a step-down plan to IOP, weekly therapy, medication management, or adjunctive services such as TMS or Spravato.
Our admissions team can verify your insurance and help determine if IOP is the right fit.
