I didn't know what to expect going IP myself and I just was there about a week ago. They kept my phone but did allow me to get phone numbers written down out of it. I have social anxiety so I was really worried about having to do the group therapies, but they would let me have a klonopin before hand and it wasn't to bad. I was only in for a couple of days though. If you feel like you need it, you just have to push yourself into going.
