Levels of Mental Health Care at Holgate
Not everyone needs the same amount of support. Mental health treatment in Passaic, NJ includes more than one level of care. Some adults need daily structure to stabilize quickly. Others do well with a lighter, ongoing schedule. Your clinical team helps determine which option fits your specific situation.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers the most structured level of care, with daily sessions and close clinical support. It fits adults with more severe or unstable symptoms, including those stepping down from a higher level of care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets several days a week. It offers more structure for those who need extra support while managing work or school.
