A member asked:
Do they use electroconvulsive therapy in a partial program at a hosp. is it part of the 12 step program?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ECT: or electroconvulsive therapy is NOT part of 12 step programs. It may be done for inpatients and many facilities do it on outpatients. Informed consent must be given for this procedure -so it is never just part of a program.
