Psychiatric Day Hospitals are time-limited active treatment programs that offer therapeutically intensive, coordinated, and structured clinical services within a stable environment. They usually provide a variety of therapeutic modalities and patient education both in groups and individually. It can be an alternative to inpatient care for individuals with acute psychiatric symptoms that do not require overnight or 24-hour monitoring. The aim of the present study was to explore patients' experiences of a Psychiatric Day Hospital with a focus on their recovery. A qualitative method was used, twelve in-depth interviews were performed with patients who received care in a Psychiatric Day Hospital according to a six-week program. The interviews were analysed with content analysis. The theme that emerged was: The importance of a secure existence. Overall, the participants were satisfied with their care at the Psychiatric Day Hospital.  It felt good to know that someone else also had control over you and it was easy to get assistance when needed. There was a great understanding between the patients as the problems were similar. The feeling of security, to do something meaningful during the days and to gain an increased knowledge about the disease and strategies in everyday life felt important and contributed to recovery.
