I was in a partial hospitalization group for 6 months until January 2017. My medications were changed quite a bit, and I had to go through withdrawal during almost the entire time.
My meetings with the docs/psychiatrists were great though. They really listened and tried to get me on the right concoction of medications.
I had to go to the program Monday through Friday from 8am until 6pm. We had a lot of classes to attend that were held by various therapists, docs, or other staff.
There was a good aftercare program for when you were discharged. You could attend support groups specific for those who were re-adjusting to their lives at home.
It went well for me, and I've been able to work. I started in February, and my work is greatful to have me back and better than I was.
