I had a mental health crisis in 2016, and went away for a month to Rodgers Memorial in Wisconsin. They got my meds right and taught me a ton of coping skills. It was amazing. You’d have to file FMLA for work and you don’t have to tell them what’s going on.

They kicked me out after 1 day because some random doctor from my insurance decided I didn't need to be there. They said I would only be approved for day treatment. Which I had already completed and they told me to go to residential next! But it can be helpful if they allow you to stay there...

Sorry to hear that. The American healthcare system is the greatest scam ever.

What coping skills did you learn that helped you most, if you don't mind me asking?

Meditation had the biggest impact. I do it every am now and also self hypnosis to set my Intention for the day.

Also, having a plan in case I was moving towards a relapse (drug addict).

Grounding techniques when anxious.

The best part of it for me was it gave me a month to get my meds right and get away from it all.
