Intensive Outpatient Programs-have you tried one?
I’ve learned about these Intensive Outpatient Programs where it’s like a boot camp for treatment.
has anyone tried any of these before? If so, can you share any info or experiences you had with them? It seems like something that would be really helpful for me, the the only one that takes my current insurance hasn’t called me back in weeks and I’ve been hunting them down with no success. Is this worth it?
@LLLLEEE I am in one right now! It has been LIFE-CHANGING. Honestly the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was in a bad mania two months ago and started doing a PHP (partial hospitalization program) which was a 5.5 hour day program. Stepped down to IOP after 3 weeks. It's a mix of group therapy and learning mental health skills. I've learned SO much and feel so much better equipped to navigate my polarities.
Oh wow, that’s so good to hear! How did you find this program? I’m having a hard time finding one in my area that accepts my insurance. I’m having trouble contacting the only one that I found that hit that criteria.
