Outpatient Child And Adolescent Psychiatrist

Join a multidisciplinary team at MaineHealth Behavioral Health (MHBH) as an Outpatient Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist with our new PHP in Portland, Maine.

MaineHealth Behavioral Health provides behavioral health partial hospitalization services for people who are too ill to attend traditional outpatient therapy, but do not require hospitalization. Often, partial hospitalization services help patients transition back into the community after a psychiatric hospitalization.

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) bridges the gap between hospital and community programs. It provides an alternative to hospitalization for people who require more intensive treatment than outpatient office visits, but less than 24-hour inpatient care.
