Understanding Partial Care

Partial Care is a structured, full-day outpatient program designed for adults who need more support than traditional outpatient care but do not require 24-hour inpatient treatment. At Emerald Wellness, our PC program operates Monday through Friday, offering comprehensive therapeutic support in a safe and welcoming environment.

This program is ideal for individuals experiencing significant mental health symptoms that interfere with daily life, yet who are stable enough to benefit from outpatient services. PC allows clients to receive intensive care while still maintaining connections to their families, work, and communities.

What the PC Program Involves

Our Partial Care program combines evidence-based therapies with holistic practices to address the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Each week includes:

  • Group Therapy: Focused on coping strategies, DBT and CBT skills, relapse prevention, and recovery education.
  • Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions tailored to each client’s unique goals and challenges.
  • Medication Management & Medical Consultation: Weekly support to monitor, adjust, and optimize medications.
  • Creative & Holistic Activities: Music therapy, yoga, journaling, meditation, and art to encourage healing and self-expression.
  • Skill-Building Sessions: Covering healthy habits, life skills, interpersonal effectiveness, and vocational readiness.
  • Case Management & Family Support: Guidance to manage outside stressors, coordinate care, and strengthen family relationships.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your PC Program Questions Answered

Partial Care provides full-day programming (Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–2:30 PM) in a structured setting. Unlike inpatient care, PC does not require overnight stays or 24-hour supervision, allowing clients to return home each evening. Compared to a general outpatient program, PC offers a higher level of support with daily group sessions, individual therapy, case management, and weekly medication management. It serves as a middle ground, more intensive than outpatient care but less restrictive than inpatient treatment.
The length of stay depends on each client’s needs and progress. On average, participation lasts 2 to 4 weeks, with regular assessments to ensure clients are receiving the right level of care at every stage of their recovery.
Many clients step down to a less intensive level of care, such as our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or Aftercare Program. This transition helps maintain progress, strengthens coping skills, and provides ongoing support as clients reintegrate into their daily lives.
At Emerald Wellness, we go beyond symptom relief by integrating evidence-based therapies, such as CBT and DBT, with holistic practices like art, music, and yoga. Our trauma-trained team provides compassionate, person-centered care in a safe, structured environment, helping clients build resilience and move forward with confidence.
