Struggling

[Dreamer]

Hi guys, I have really been struggling lately, and ended up in our local inpatient locked facility for the first time in my life, scary . I went voluntarily, with therapists and friends wanting me to be safe. The problem was that I was more triggered and became more depressed there. I know their job was to stabilize me, medication, but I felt so drugged up. I guess there are two parts here. One, my support team and I need to figure out a better solution, if there is a next time. So any and all ideas appreciated. Second, I would be interested in a PTSD focused inpatient treatment facility. Anywhere in the United States. I looked into one called the meadows in Phoenix. But out of network for my insurance, so the cost out of pocket was pretty high. I know my life can’t be defined by a price, but I need to be realistic. So any suggestions that I can look into would really help.

Hi robargetroy. Sorry you've been struggling lately. Glad you're reaching out. The link below brings you to a page with information on the WRAP recovery tool. You can get the book on it (red book) and/or the app for it. WRAP's are personalized recovery plans that each individual can create for anything that one may be recovering from (addictions, PTSD, depression, anxiety issues, physical issues, etc.). The book is $10. WRAP's help a person stay out of the hospital, but they also include planning for the scenario of one being admitted to the hospital.
