Mental Health PHP in Portland, Maine
There’s a space between “doing okay” and needing to be hospitalized — and that’s where our Mental Health Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) steps in. If you’re feeling emotionally unsafe, cycling through anxiety or depression, or struggling to function day to day, you don’t have to wait until things get worse.
At Casco Bay Recovery, our Portland-based PHP offers a full-day mental health program designed for people who need help right now, without being admitted to a psychiatric facility.
