i really don't think that it is a step backward if you decide to take advantage of the services they are offering you and use them to their fullest potential. i mean, just b/c you might be going back to the hospital doesn't mean that things are going to just keep being the same or that they will be the same as they were last time you got out. it all depends on how much effort you put into the therapy (and they better have at least group therapy there--you should know before you get yourself there what they offer). i really think that part of getting better is a conscious decision. it is just hard to get to that point or part in your consciousness where you are able to make the decision. if that makes any sense. the hospital has helped me get there a few times. and i still think i have progressed in the past few years even though i have been in and out 4 times. really, i wish i could take an extended stay--i am a bit jealous that you might have that opportunity :)
