We offer inpatient and outpatient services, as well as a partial hospitalization program to ensure that physicians, patients, and families can choose from among a range of flexible options to get the psychiatric care they need.

MedStar Health is dedicated to a multidisciplinary approach to mental health care—psychiatrists and case managers work as a team with psychologists, social workers, clinical counselor, and psychiatric nurses to address all patient need. We also make sure we work closely with each patient and all family members, as appropriate, to customize a treatment plan that may include counseling and psychological education, symptom management, supportive group therapy, expressive therapy, and medication education.

We strive to:
Provide compassionate, ethical, and scientifically competent patient care
Provide outstanding educational programs for psychiatry residents and medical students
Advance mental health knowledge, training, and services through innovative and comprehensive research

Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Program
The Partial Hospitalization Program and the Intensive Outpatient Program of MedStar Union Memorial Hospital’s Department of Psychiatry provide comprehensive outpatient psychiatric services to our patients and the community. We offer a variety of programs, each tailored to meet the needs of the individual patient. The goal of each program is to reduce psychiatric symptoms and to prevent an inpatient hospital stay.
Our programs are staffed by an experienced, dedicated team of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, case managers and therapists from various disciplines. This team supports patients through treatment for various disorders, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Patients who are also chemically dependent are eligible as well.
Each patient’s treatment includes diagnostic and medical evaluation, group psychotherapy, multidisciplinary group modalities and, if necessary, medication therapy. Family outreach is also an integral part of our program.

Partial Hospitalization Program
Licensed in January 1983, the Partial Hospitalization Program (P.H.P.) was the first day hospital program to receive approval from the State Mental Hygiene Administration in the Baltimore metropolitan area. This short-term program enables patients who require significant support to stay in the community and avoid inpatient care. Depending on clinical need, patients receive treatment for either 4 or 6.5 hours per day.

Each patient’s treatment needs are reviewed shortly after admission, and an individualized treatment plan is developed. As the patient participates in the program, discharge plans are made in conjunction with the referral source. Every effort is made to help the patient quickly return to work or secure an appropriate, structured activity in the community.

P.H.P. at MedStar Union Memorial is:
Intensive treatment for 4 or 6.5 hours per day
Available up to five times per week
For patients who need significant assistance with medication, structure and symptom management
Intensive Outpatient Program
The Intensive Outpatient Program (I.O.P.) offers more therapy than is available in a typical outpatient setting but involves less contact than the P.H.P. This program helps patients stabilize their symptoms and quickly return to work or their community. Depending on clinical need, patients receive two or three group sessions per day, two to five times per week. As with the P.H.P., all patients receive individual treatment and early discharge planning.

I.O.P. at MedStar Union Memorial is:
A sub-set of the Partial Hospitalization Program
Focused treatment for two or three hours each day
Available two to five times per week
Two or three therapeutic group sessions each day
Group therapy and one or two other appropriate groups provided each day
