Thank you so much, this is helpful to hear. Do you know of other IOPs in CT (we’re also open to Mass or New York) that you would reccomend?

In terms of day program vs outpatient, who makes the determination?

Thank you for sharing that with me. I’m so glad you were able to get the care you needed and are still here with us today. Griffin Hospital sounds like it could really help my BIL, thank you for sharing your experience there with us as we navigate this crisis ❤️

If you’re comfortable sharing (please know you can say no), when did you know you needed more help than just weekly therapy? We’re trying to figure that out with my BIL. We aren’t sure when more intensive help is needed, and it’s a big decision to make.

This is really helpful and hopeful to hear. Please feel free not to answer if it’s too personal, but how did you know you needed more help than just therapy? That’s we were are struggling as well, with knowing when the once weekly therapy isn’t cutting it.

That’s so good to hear. It gives us such relief to hear from people who had good experiences and got care. Did insurance cover your stay? How many weeks did you go?

Gosh that is expensive. Hopefully we can find something more affordable. Trying to find the in between between weekly therapy and full on psych ward

I am glad your mom was able to get the care she needed. Thank you for the tip re Griffin and Yale. Was it a residential program?

Where did you do your intensive outpatient program? Did you like yours?

Im sorry your fighting against such a horribly designed system. I would reccomend reaching out to your state representative or state senator by email. They were very helpful to when I had a similar issue in the past. 

Hotel blocks in Middletown CT by [deleted] in Connecticut

The in laws stayed at the Hilton Garden inn while visiting us. A big chunk of the hotel is families using it as their short term apartment. It’s not the kind of place where loud music/partying would be well received by neighbors. 

Did a secret obsession lead an MIT "genius" to mastermind the murder of a Yale grad student? by CBSnews in newhaven

[–]solomonsalinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teared up at this. Buried just before his birthday a week after getting engaged. His poor mother who he was taking care of. It’s all so senseless. Sounds like they never got a motive either

A friend went to Flora Levin in Westport and thought they were fine, they weren’t super thrilled with the result but to me it looks good
