I highly recommend a partial hospitalization treatment especially if one hasn't been hospitalized before. It was very helpful in getting me prepared for longer treatment and educating me on how to utilize the treatment there. I learned a lot of different skills I wasn't familiar with, and have been very helpful in my daily life. This program was at McLean Hospital.

Advice & Tips
I had always been to individual therapy and didnt always take to the therapists. I enjoyed group therapy because you are with people that are going thruogh similar situations. They can along with the case mangers give you helpful advice to deal with the problems you encounter. It was the most beneficial thing for me. I also was able to deal with issues not related to me initially being referred. (ie. things that happened to me as a child) I would highly recommend it, if you can afford to go. It may take a minute to open up in the group but eventually you will and it will help a great deal.

Advice & Tips
This program has been a huge help for me. I was close to suicide going in, very depressed, and failing at everything. Just stepping away from regular day to day work and taking so much time for myself and examining things in group is huge.
I did look at two different PHP programs before I found and started at this one, so I'd advise doing your research. They are all a little different, and you might not find the right one the first place you are evaluated.
