I was referred to a day treatment program, the choice was 4 weeks monday to Friday or the one I picked 2-3times a week. this kept me out of hospital and group therapy was such a support- you are not the only one! Among other lessons in group wisdom. Some were inpatients in the group.
for this I needed a referral from a Dr.

maybe you have something like this is your area?

I personally have only been in hospital for surgery.
