That was my experience, too, in 2 hospitalizations! It left me so bitter, and so averse to seeking inpatient help again.

We did have "groups," but they were so pathetic as to be laughable. In one, we watched a video about Rikers Island. WTF? It was interesting, (and sad), but I have no idea what the point was, and it certainly didn't provide any sort of help.
