At Bronson Behavioral Health Hospital in Battle Creek, Michigan, we provide the right level of care at the right time. Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers intensive, structured outpatient treatment that is designed to support emotional stabilization and reduce the need for inpatient hospitalization. Some individuals step down to the PHP after inpatient care, while others begin treatment directly at this level.
