I did a virtual IOP for 4 weeks last December. It was great. Way better then in person. It was on zoom. You had to stay on mute unless you were talking. There were no side conversations so no one could be a jerk to you. During break I could go downstairs and get a snack. I did a Mon-Fri 9:15-noon one and I just breezed through it and I learned a lot of stuff. I did struggle that it was just groups and I didn’t have any one on one time and my therapist wouldn’t see me until I completed the program. That part was really tough. Being alone on Christmas sucked.

But if I ever were to do IOP again I’d hope it would be virtual.
