How I Told My Family I Needed to Go Back to Treatment (and What Actually Helped): Partial Hospitalization Program
I didn’t mean to leave the program. But I did. First it was a missed group. Then a week. Then I stopped replying altogether. And every day that passed made it harder to imagine walking back in.
