I am trying to help my best friend, in receiving help for major depression. She's tried 2 different Psychiatrists now and 2 different meds...neither the meds nor doctors seem to have helped anything. I truly feel she needs some daily couseling and support, to establish a kind of "baseline" for her treatment...the problem is that she travels a lot for business and can't even get to her current doc but maybe once every couple of weeks - and then it's only a 30 minute session !

I really feel if she were able to check in to a facility for a couple weeks or more, she might then have an opportunity to actually start receiving the treatment she needs. She seems semi-willing to do it, but I'm needing more info.

Does anyone know where I can find out about such facilities in certain states ? I know she would prefer more of a "private" setting, versus staying in an actual hospital. I also think group therapy would be an important part of it. Any suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
