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.
02/21/1997 what I thought was a soup line turned out to be clients in line for breakfast, was asked to go upstairs and sit in a room for an hour. Turned out to be my first AA meeting, by the end of the day had become a client too. My sobriety date is 07/04/2015, thank you Clare foundation for showing me a path to happiness, joyfulness and freedom.
