Day treatment for adults whose emotions hit hard and fast, strain relationships, or lead to choices they regret. Built around DBT skills and a steady clinical team.
Some people feel emotions more intensely and take longer to come back down. That isn't a character flaw, and it responds well to skills training. Our PHP and IOP teach dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills and give you several days a week to practice them with people working on the same things. This includes adults with borderline personality disorder or BPD traits.
