Not particularly so; a few were, but not in any long-term, meaningful sort of way. Some were interesting -- more psychoeducational than therapy-based. Others I didn't bother to attend because they weren't pertinent to my particular needs or the facilitator of that particular class/group wasn't very good. It was hit and miss; you learn which ones are worth the time and which ones to avoid.

The treatment itself WAS helpful in that it kept me alive and allowed my pdoc to make aggressive med changes that he wouldn't have been able to do so quickly outpatient. That was the function of inpatient.
