My hospital experiences sound much like anneinside's. I found being in a safe place where I didn't have to fear for my own safety from myself a huge relief. My pdoc was able to make quicker and more aggressive med adjustments because I could be monitored for problems 24/7, so I started feeling improvement within days when I had been suffering for weeks or months previously. The staff was caring, attentive, and supportive. No, this wasn't club med. The facilities were clean and fairly basic. Most anything that could possibly be used for harm was taken away, but for obvious reasons. You are monitored very closely, again for obvious reasons. But you are safe. That I found to be a huge relief. Give the idea some thought.
