The flipside is, a huge chunk of this kind of treatment is for substance use, and often IOP is little more than a weekly meeting with a therapist and social worker, padded out with group sessions that aren't demonstrably better than free options (AA/NA) available in the community.
Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic.

Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment.

Doctors are left to walk a tightrope.

Yes, Charlie Kirk called for Joe Biden’s execution. But he called for it in the right way.
