Has anyone tried an IOP or PHP program and benefitted?

What do IOP and PHP stand for?

Sorry, Intensive Outpatient Program and Partial Hospitalization Program.

@nola82 I have and the ones I've been to were super unhelpful and generalized.

@arcticoconut Same. I’m doing one at Rogers now and I don’t like it at all.

@nola82 which rogers?

@arcticoconut I've been to their residential in wisconsin.

@arcticoconut Oh I’m doing the virtual program. How did you find their residential? I don’t like my behavioural specialist abs they won’t let me work with someone else.

@nola82 I would suggest NOCD over Rogers. Their residential would've been great if there weren't other patients there. I got bullied by a 16 year old druggie who loved to be a real bitch to everyone.

@arcticoconut LMAO HEY ROGERS OF WISCONSIN GANG

@vinjevollen LOLL BRUH DO I KNOW YOU?

@saphie LMFAOOOOO probably not 😭 I’m like 14 yrs older than you and I was at Rogers in 2017 🥴

@vinjevollen OH LOL hell shit went down there

@vinjevollen Did you find it beneficial?

@nola82 Overall…not necessarily. I’ve said this to others on here: the therapy wasn’t that helpful. But psychiatrists who listened to me, and as I said below, them stealing my phone helped lmaoo

@vinjevollen Ah yes you mentioned it was helpful that they took your phone. I agree. So far the therapy is not helpful at all.

@nola82 Honestly…self-imposed screen time limits are helpful for health ocd! I lock myself out of my phone after a certain amount of time and I’m working on blocking sites like WebMD and similar things lol

@vinjevollen Great idea!

@laurenkm Sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience there!

I have done inpatient. Not sure how they differ from these options, it sounds like PHP would be closest? I agree with arcticoconut – HOWEVER, considering I have Health / Somatic OCD as a primary theme, them taking my phone away from me was what made me recover lmfaoooo like they literally removed the thing that allows me to do compulsions so I naturally had to recover. If you are thinking about any programs, do your research and call and ask if they can treat OCD specifically, since the therapy is different than Anxiety/Depression therapy. CBT makes some people worse.
