I went to an inpatient rehab about six years ago after being hospitalized for severe depression. As someone else mentioned, the experience was a disaster! It was a co-ed facility and the drama and hooking up shenanigans were overwhelming for me. I left a little over a week and a half into the experience. I returned home and entered an outpatient program and stuck with that to get sober. I entered AA and faithfully attended one to three meetings a day until I returned to work from a leave of absence (about four months). I loved AA, especially the woman's group . . . until someone in the group violated my confidentiality and the ramifications were pretty awful. I stay sober now by going to therapy individually. I do miss, however, the comradarie of the AA meetings.
