Start with what support is needed

Begin With the Person, Then Compare the Level of Support

Use this overview to compare how much support each THIRA Health program provides. Admissions can help narrow the options based on age, safety, daily life, and the amount of support needed.

Several Ways to Begin

The Right Program Depends on What Life and Safety Look Like Now

Some people need a live-in therapeutic setting. Others need a full treatment day while returning home at night, or a focused schedule that fits alongside work, school, and family life. THIRA Health organizes care by clinical need, age, identity, safety, and the amount of support required rather than expecting you to choose alone.

Who these programs support

  • Adults of all genders seeking structured mental health care
  • Teens of all genders for teen IOP
  • Teen girls and gender non-conforming teens beginning at age 13 for PHP and residential treatment
  • People stepping up from weekly therapy or down from a higher level of care
  • Clients building DBT skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and relationships
  • Families who want clearer guidance and coordinated next steps
  • Referring professionals looking for coordinated next steps

Compare levels of care

Three Levels of Structure, One Admissions Conversation

Residential, PHP, and IOP are not interchangeable. The most useful starting point is a conversation about safety, daily functioning, treatment history, support at home, and the amount of structure needed right now.

THIRA Health does not provide acute hospital stabilization or emergency services.

Residential treatment

A supportive live-in therapeutic setting with around-the-clock structure and repeated opportunities to practice skills.

Partial hospitalization (PHP)

Highly structured daytime treatment with therapy, DBT skills, coordinated clinical care, and a return home or to supportive housing outside program hours.

What THIRA Health brings to treatment

DBT Skills for Everyday Life

DBT provides a shared language for noticing what is happening, tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and navigating relationships. The exact treatment plan is individualized, and DBT is integrated with the clinical, relational, and whole-person supports appropriate to the program.
Clinical fit firstAdmissions considers symptoms, safety, functioning, age, identity, and treatment history.
DBT at the centerClients practice mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Whole-person supportPrograms may include individual and group therapy, psychiatry, expressive approaches, movement, nutrition support, and family involvement.
Support As Needs ChangeConnected levels of care can make step-up and step-down planning easier when clinically appropriate.

Care is more than a program name

The Next Step Should Still Feel Personal

Levels of care describe how much structure a program provides. They do not replace the relationship, respect, and human connection that help someone feel safe enough to participate in treatment.

A client or family perspective

“The staff at Thira are experts in DBT, and offer evidence-based and trauma-informed care.”

A former client described both clinical confidence and the way care was delivered.

Care that felt personal
“The therapists are great and genuinely care about us.”
Skills that stayed useful
“I continue to use the DBT skills I learned.”
A welcoming experience
“This treatment center welcomed me and made me feel valued and cared for as an individual.”

Individual experiences vary; testimonials do not guarantee outcomes.
