If you want group therapy, but you don't fit into the hospital program, you could probably find a group in your community. Perhaps your T could give you some leads. Then you could do individual treatment with your T and group too, but not have to go to the hospital.

The outpatient treatment at the hospital has two step program.
Step 1 is M - F 8:30am 1:20pm with 4 group therapy sessions every day.
Step 2 is M - F 8:30am to 11:20am with 3 group therapy sessions every day.
Other than perhaps a meds consult and the initial intake there isn't any individual counseling and I don't see myself being grouped in with people recovering from drugs or alcohol. I need to make sure I'm not in the group of addicts... nothing personal just not want I need treatment for. I don't need 12 steps.
As for group therapy in the community I am thinking about looking into that. I most recently was a part of a group therapy that has since ended but will be starting up again in January. I think I posted about this before. It is something I enjoy.
