About WellSpan Philhaven Lancaster
WellSpan Philhaven Day Hospital in Lancaster is a specialized behavioral health facility providing partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care for youth in South Central Pennsylvania. Their programs are designed for children and adolescents ages five to eighteen who are facing mental health, emotional or behavioral challenges. With Pennsylvania facing a youth mental health crisis, their mission is to provide intensive and compassionate therapeutic support that keeps young people connected to their community and education.
Mental Health Treatment with Integrated Academic Support
WellSpan Philhaven’s core offering is its Partial Hospitalization Program. This intensive day hospital model is for young adults experiencing significant distress. This program blends clinical therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma therapy with coordinated academic instruction, ensuring patients don't fall behind in school.
Treatment involves structured daily therapy and includes individual, group and family sessions while maintaining a connection to the patient's home school. I think it's important to note how this integrated approach addresses both mental health symptoms and the practical challenge of managing education during recovery, promoting stability and routine.
Trauma Informed Care for Vulnerable Youth
The facility explicitly specializes in supporting youth with post traumatic stress disorder and is an affirming provider for LGBT adolescents. Clinicians use trauma therapy and behavior modification within a safe and structured environment to help these vulnerable populations process their experiences and build healthier coping skills.
Beginning Your Healing Journey
WellSpan Philhaven Day Hospital provides in-person care at its facility on Eden Road and serves Lancaster County and the broader region. As part of the non profit WellSpan Health network I think it's valuable that they offer comprehensive and accessible youth behavioral health services.
They accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, and offer a sliding fee scale and financial assistance programs.
