i just had my assessment for an outpatient dbt program. they definitely approved me for the program, but now i need 5 grand to pay for it. they were going to apply for district funding for me, but once they found out that i’m living at my dad’s place and he works at ibm everything went down hill. i really don’t know what to do.
Wow..that is a lot of money.
I went through DBT, but thankfully insurance did cover some of it. Some therapists know about DBT and may be willing to go over some of the stuff with you in just a regular therapy session. So that may be worth looking in to. Also some DBT programs will allow you to choose which “section” of DBT to go through. That way if you can’t afford it all, you can choose the parts you think would be most beneficial (of course nothing really beats going through the whole program).
Don’t give up. There are options out there.
