Levels of Care

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Adolescent PHP offers a highly structured and clinically intensive level of care for teens who need more support than traditional outpatient services but do not require 24-hour residential treatment.

This program is designed to work around school schedules, including options for:

Homeschooled students
Virtual learners
GED-enrolled adolescents

Day/Evening Structured Treatment (4:00 PM – 8:00 PM)

Our Approach

At Kemah Palms Recovery, we understand that adolescents require a different clinical approach than adults. Our program is built around:

Age-appropriate, evidence-based care
Strong family involvement and support systems
Trauma-informed treatment practices
Academic and life-balance integration
Focus on long-term recovery, not just short-term stabilization
