The Intensive Outpatient Program recommended post discharge gave no assistance to our family as a whole and was a complete waste of the patients time. They put our family member on bipolar meds during a hospitalization with no official diagnosis of being bipolar & no true monitorization of the extreme side effects that occurred & are still occurring. They are quick to "graduate" their patients early while still on these hardcore psychiatric drugs as soon as dual diagnosis comes into play. Also, I have directly experienced that there is no real communication between Resolve Crisis & the hospital itself. The system put in place to help those most in need with mental illness is broken, it's tragic.
