In about a year I will be moving, I have always been deathly afraid of iop and hospitalization. It's to the point that I do not want to continue mental health treatment upon relocating because frequent IOP and hospitalization is REALLY likely depending on who I receive as a T and pdoc. I'm pretty sure I will not need IOP when moving but I would like to try it before being assigned a therapist. I feel like I need to know what iop and hospitalization is like to continue my treatment upon moving. Do you have to be in crisis to go to IOP or is a situation like mine a valid reasons to start with IOP?

If I do not continue treatment in some fashion it is likely that I will be involuntarily commited within a couple of months of moving. I want to be in as much control as possible and a remodel to my son but I seriously don't want the 'oversight' of mental health professionals when they have so much power. My current T has worked years on getting me to tell the the truth without fear that she will hospitalize me. I don't want that to go out the window when moving.
