How are families involved beyond the admissions process?

Families and supportive others will be integrated into the therapeutic process to enhance the recovery journey, without the expectation of constant involvement. Their participation may include specific sessions, group activities, or even meal support when clinically appropriate and determined by the care team. This ensures their involvement is purposeful and aligns with the client’s unique needs and treatment goals.

Structured, In-Person Care for Teens.

When an adolescent is struggling with an eating disorder, early, specialized support can make a meaningful difference. At Alsana, our Adolescent Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) in Westlake Village offers structured, in-person care designed to meet teens where they are, supporting both the individual and the family system with compassion, expertise, and intention. This level of care provides the consistency and clinical depth adolescents need, while still allowing them to remain connected to home and everyday life.

What Is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)?

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a structured, intensive level of outpatient care. Adolescents attend programming during the day (five days per week for six to eight hours each day) and return home in the evenings.

PHP offers a higher level of support than traditional outpatient therapy, without the need for overnight stays. It serves as a bridge for those who need more structure, accountability, and clinical care, whether stepping up from outpatient support or transitioning from residential treatment.

The Benefits of PHP for Adolescents.

PHP is designed to provide meaningful, consistent support during a critical stage of development while keeping adolescents connected to their lives outside of treatment.

Stay connected to home and family while receiving intensive, structured care

Apply recovery skills in real time, navigating meals, relationships, and daily routines with support

Minimize disruption to development and education, maintaining a connection to everyday life
