Program areas at PPI
Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute (ppi) is a freestanding healthcare facility that specializes in Psychiatric and substance abuse treatment. Inpatient care is provided on a 24 hour basis, seven days a week, in an 89 bed acute care Psychiatric setting. Adults, adolescents and children whose social, emotional or behavioral disorders are severe enough that they are unable to function normally in school, home or a community setting are supported by ppi's inpatient services.
The advancement in recovery program offers a comprehensive medication assisted treatment program for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder. Combined with therapeutic support, the team provides support for patients throughout all phases of treatment.
Ppi's outpatient and partial hospitalization programs continue the support adults, adolescents, and children receive from the inpatient treatment, at a less restrictive level that provides the support needed while allowing the patients to continue with their family, school, or professional commitments.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ect) is a procedure used to treat severe depression when other treatments such as psychotherapy and antidepressant medications have not been successful. Ect is performed under anesthesia and the patient is asleep.
Ppi has a team of dedicated medical practitioners available at all times to treat the physical health needs of its patients in all of the behavioral health settings.
