I've been thinking about doing IOP, but I have some questions for you guys. Wildflowerchild25 and falcon09 gave me some advice in the check-in thread, but I don't want to spam that thread. And I apologize if this post is too long.

(1.) Are most IOPs meant for substance abuse or detox?
People have told me that I can go to IOP despite not having a substance abuse problem, which would be good for me, but my concern is that they will focus too much on substance abuse and detox. (I don't have a substance abuse problem.) However, I admittedly don't know how IOP therapy, psychiatry, etc. work.

(2.) Would PHP be more suitable if IOPs focus on substance abuse and detox?
The only problem I have with PHP is that every day is long according to what I've been reading. Basically, we're talking about 9am until 3pm or something like that. I just want a therapist to talk to everyday, and possible med changes with supervision. I like that IOPs meet everyday from like 6pm until 9pm because I don't know if I could benefit from going to PHP everyday for such long periods of time. I also don't think I am borderline needing IP.

(3.) What kind of things do you learn in IOP and PHP?
I am just curious about what they're like. I want to know what I can expect to see if either PHP or IOP matches my needs.
