The IP I go to is strict but fair. They do a skin assessment but youre wearing a hospital gown and they check your skin for marks and tattoos/scars. There are lots of groups to keep you busy all day but there is down time. I was annoyed last time I went because they no longer have curtain on windows so its bright and theres no longer bathroom doors-just a shower curtain for privacy. Luckily my roommates and I would leave so we actually had SOME privacy. I heard rumor theyre gonna start locking the room doors during the day so you cant skip group...which is stupid because nurses make you go anyway lol Luckily we do get to go outside for walks to the duck pond or outside where people smoke in a fenced in area. (iVe seen people run away.) Also theres two day rooms where you can watch satellite tv or movies. the doctors are mostly great and so are the nurses. I go to that one because my dr works there and its the best IP ive been to.


seriously...if youre even feeling like you need ip-just go.
