What Patients Say About Our IOP
Sage
"It has been a year since I placed myself in the Allen Psychiatry PHP / IOP program. It is decision I am happy to have made. In the program, I was challenged by the session leader, and others in the group, to do the tough job of looking inward. During this journey, I was supported not only by the staff, but by others within the group. These are people I will never forget. They are all with my every day helping me to be a better version of myself. This combined with the individual sessions I now attend, has helped my with my condition of CPTSD, and other that stem from it. I feel healthier, more joyful, and most of all increasingly freer of the weight I had carried for so long. The Team here are all wonderful, and work well together to support the individual and the collect in groups sessions. There is so much more that I want to say. Simply put? These folks are wonderful, and they all have my gratitude. I write all this to say, if you are struggling, need help, and want ""it all"" to change for the better, I could not point you to a better group of people to help you find your way out of ""it.""
