Anyway, my stay was brief but I really liked the facility and its approach. I think it would have done me a lot of good if I had been able to stay.
I'm sorry you are being forced to consider it when you obviously want no part of it. I hope you find a viable solution for your situation. Hugs.

It kills me that insurance doesn't care if you keep winding up IP or worse. I understand it's just a business to them but I'm in PHP right now and I'm seeing people being discharged who are clearly in a horrible state. If they made the investment now they would save money in the long term. One of my concerns is going into residential and having my time approved 5 days at a time. I would feel better about it if they approved it in larger chunks, like a month at a time. I need stability badly right now.
Your post makes me realize that I'm actually desperate for help. I looked at some of the programs near me and a few had equine therapy. If I had researched it on my own I might have brought it up myself. I'm resistant because my family dictates my therapy and every move I make. My mom even opens my mail and hides checks from me because she's worried about my impulse shopping. I'm 34. There has to be some kind of compromise.
