Twelve-step programs are examples of self-help groups. Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) were developed to complement inpatient mental health care and outpatient services, and provide treatment to clients with acute psychiatric symptoms who are experiencing a decline in social or occupational functioning, who cannot function autonomously on a daily basis, or who do not pose imminent danger to themselves or others. It is a time-limited, ambulatory, active treatment program that offers therapeutically intensive, coordinated, and structured clinical services within a stable milieu. Outpatient detoxification is a specialized form of partial hospitalization for clients requiring medical supervision. Supported employment services assist individuals to find work.
