If you’re here, you probably already know something has to change. Not later. Now. You’re not in crisis—but you’re not okay. And if you’re like many of the people who come through our doors, you’ve reached that quiet tipping point where the pain of staying stuck is finally louder than the fear of getting help.
That’s where a partial hospitalization program can come in. Not as a punishment. Not as a last resort. But as a structured, compassionate first step toward healing.
This Isn’t a Hospital. It’s a Place to Breathe
Despite the name, PHP doesn’t mean being admitted to a hospital. At COR Behavioral Health in Hobe Sound, it means coming to a warm, welcoming space five days a week—typically for several hours a day—where you get intensive therapeutic support while still sleeping in your own bed each night.
You’ll work with licensed clinicians who specialize in mental health and co-occurring disorders, including anxiety, depression, substance use, and trauma. You’ll be surrounded by others who are also ready to show up for themselves, often for the first time.
It’s Okay If You Don’t Know What to Expect
That’s actually more common than you think. Many of our clients come in unsure of what treatment “should” look like. You might not know what you need yet. That’s okay.
Our assessment process is designed to meet you where you are, not where you “should” be. We’ll help determine whether PHP is the right level of care—or if an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or individual therapy would be a better fit. The goal isn’t to label you. It’s to support you.
Your Day Will Have Structure—But Also Space
In our PHP, your week might include:
- Group therapy
- Individual sessions with a licensed therapist
- Medication management if needed
- Skills-based work (like CBT or DBT)
- Mindfulness or expressive therapies
The rhythm of your day will have purpose, but also flexibility. There’s time to reflect. Time to connect. Time to reset.
The People Around You Will Understand
You don’t have to perform here. You don’t have to pretend to be “fine.” Many of our clients are navigating work stress, relationship strain, unresolved trauma, or the exhaustion that comes from being “on” all the time. You’re not alone in this.
Group therapy in PHP often becomes a lifeline—a place where you’re reminded that what you’re feeling isn’t weird or wrong. It’s human.
You’ll Leave With Tools, Not Just Stories
This isn’t about venting for six hours a day. At COR, we focus on helping you build real-life skills you can use outside of sessions. We’ll work with you on boundaries, emotional regulation, healthy routines, and how to recognize early signs of distress before they become a crisis.
Our goal is to help you not just feel better, but understand yourself better.
You Don’t Have to Explain Why You’re Here
Maybe it’s your first time reaching out. Maybe people around you don’t even know you’re struggling. One of the quiet truths about mental health is that it often takes everything you have just to ask for help.
At COR, we honor that. We don’t need you to have the “right” words. We don’t expect you to have a plan. If all you know is that you’re overwhelmed, disconnected, or just tired of feeling this way—we’ll meet you there.
This Isn’t a Lifetime Commitment. It’s a Starting Point.
A partial hospitalization program isn’t forever. In fact, most clients spend just a few weeks to a couple of months in PHP. But what happens in that short window can shift everything.
You’ll leave with tools you didn’t have before. Perspective you couldn’t access alone. And maybe most importantly—proof that healing is possible, even if it starts small.
One Success Story We Hear Often: “I Wish I’d Come Sooner”
People often tell us they waited until they “couldn’t take it anymore” before getting help. But you don’t have to hit rock bottom to benefit from treatment. If you’re already self-aware enough to be reading this, that’s your sign: you’re ready. And you’re worth the care.
