At Arkview Behavioral Health, we provide structured, personalized mental health treatment for adults who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy. Our programs are designed to help individuals stabilize symptoms, build coping skills, and improve daily functioning—all while continuing to live at home.
We offer two levels of care for mental health treatment: Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Both programs are available at our Mechanicsburg and East York, Pennsylvania locations, with flexible scheduling options to support real-life responsibilities.
Our mental health programs treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma, and mood disorders, along with co-occurring challenges that impact everyday life.
Anxiety involves persistent feelings of worry, fear, or unease that can interfere with daily life and functioning. At Arkview Behavioral Health, our anxiety treatment program helps individuals manage symptoms and build coping skills for long‑term relief.
Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings, including emotional highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression), that significantly impact daily activities and relationships. Our bipolar disorder treatment program helps individuals manage mood swings and improve long‑term functioning.
Depression is more than feeling sad; it can cause persistent feelings of hopelessness, loss of interest, and difficulty functioning in daily life. Our depression treatment program offers compassionate support and effective therapies to help clients regain balance and purpose.
Post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can develop after exposure to a traumatic event and may include intrusive memories, flashbacks, and heightened emotional distress. Our PTSD treatment program focuses on healing trauma responses and building coping skills.
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health condition that can affect a person’s thoughts, perceptions, and ability to distinguish between what is real and unreal. Our schizophrenia treatment program provides structured therapeutic support to help individuals manage symptoms and improve daily living.
Trauma refers to the emotional response to deeply distressing or disturbing experiences that can have lasting effects on mental health. At Arkview Behavioral Health, we do not have a separate trauma track, but trauma is addressed within evidence-based individual and group therapy using trauma-informed practices.
Mental Health Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Arkview Behavioral Health’s mental health PHP offers a higher level of structured care for adults who need consistent, clinically supported treatment without inpatient hospitalization.
This program meets 5 days per week and typically lasts 4 to 12 weeks, depending on individual needs. PHP is offered in person only at both locations and includes morning and evening program options to accommodate different schedules.
Mental health PHP is ideal for individuals who:
- Are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or mood disorders
- Need daily structure and clinical support
- Are transitioning from inpatient care or trying to avoid hospitalization
- Want to build coping skills and improve daily functioning
Clients in PHP receive regular psychiatric care, including medication management and adjustments as needed. They also meet with an individual therapist 1–2 times per week, along with participating in daily group therapy focused on:
- DBT skills
- Emotional regulation
- Coping strategies
- Psychoeducation
While we do not offer a separate trauma track, trauma is addressed throughout treatment using trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches in both individual and group therapy.
Family involvement is also available through therapy sessions and education, and we offer a free virtual family support group for additional support.
What makes Arkview Behavioral Health PHP different:
Unlike hospital-based programs that focus primarily on short-term stabilization, we provide:
- Smaller, more personalized group settings
- Consistent clinical teams
- Longer-term support and continuity of care
- A strong focus on real-life skill-building
Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Arkview Behavioral Health’s mental health IOP provides a flexible level of care for adults who still need structured support while balancing work, school, or family responsibilities.
This program meets 3 days per week and typically lasts 4 to 12 weeks, depending on individual progress and needs. IOP is currently offered in person only at both Mechanicsburg and East York locations, with morning and evening scheduling options available.
Mental health IOP is a strong fit for individuals who:
- Need more support than weekly therapy
- Are stepping down from PHP or a higher level of care
- Want continued structure while returning to daily life
- Are working on maintaining progress and preventing setbacks
In IOP, clients continue building essential skills for:
- Emotional regulation
- Managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders
- Improving communication and daily functioning
- Strengthening long-term coping strategies
This program allows individuals to apply what they learn in treatment directly to their everyday lives while still receiving consistent clinical support.
