I was in the IOP program, which was very helpful for myself. The therapists were amazing and compassionate. However the compassion goes "right out of the window" with the discharging process. It's a terrible process to completely open up and give into a program and then be treated like you've never existed as a client there. Once you've been discharged and they say to contact any time for support- DO NOT ever expect to be able to get into contact with anyone at the facility as they disregard phone calls and ignore emails unless you're ready to sign up again and pay for the program. And there's no follow-up afterward- once you're out and paid your due you are merely just another number. You get the feeling you got before ever entering treatment...that you're alone.
