Many hospitals will have a couple of step down services. Intensive outpatient (IOP) is a common option and probably looks different depending on the hospital. In mine, IOP patients continue to come in for services, including seeing their pdoc, every day, but they go home at the end of the day. They also have a psychiatric outpatient program that is done completely outpatient several evenings a week.

The hospital should be able to discuss options that are available.
