I'm not sure if this is the same thing I did--called IOP--intensive outpatient.

I started w/the day program but found that they had too much time wasted on breaks & the people were lower functioning, in that they would just sleep on the couch instead of going to group so I switched to the evening program which was 4 hrs. a night 4 nights a week. Some of the people continued to work while they did the program (which I did though I only work part-time). I did it for about 9 weeks.

Helped a lot as I had just been dxed w/bipolar 1 & they also had educational programs for family members which helped my husband a lot.
