Adult Outpatient Programs at Fairfax

Day Program and Evening Programs Now Available!

Our Day and Evening adult outpatient day programs are designed to help! Don’t deal with anxiety, depression, self-harm and/or thoughts of death, life transition, loss of pleasure, lack of support, grief, trauma, work struggles or social activities avoidance alone. These adult outpatient day programs are part of the continuum of care offered for both adults and adolescents and can be used as an alternative to hospitalization. Adult outpatient services offer a more intensive care than a weekly office visit but don’t require an overnight stay or 24-hour care. Our adult outpatient programs include group therapy, individualized case management with a licensed clinician, structured family involvement, as well as a medication evaluation, and management by a board-certified psychiatrist.

Our Day Treatment, commonly known as PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), is an alternative to hospitalization and does not require 24-hour overnight care.

You’ll learn important skills that will help you reconnect with others, build self-confidence, and better manage life’s daily activities and schedules.
