I guess it depends. If you are 'stuck' with outpatient therapy then sometimes clinician's might think that you could benefit from inpatient therapy. But sometimes a good comprimise can be to increase the frequency of outpatient sessions. How many therapy sessions do you have per week? One? Two? Three? Four? Five? Would it be an option to increase your outpatient therapy time?
Hard to say without knowing what the problem is... If it is about being 'stuck' then increasing the therapy can help with that.
If it is that you are behaviourally dysregulating... That you are becoming a potential danger to yourself or others then hospitalisation can help keep you safe through that for a bit. If you need a meds review or to change your meds or something like that.
What kind of inpatient therapy could you do? My experiences on the ward was that the therapy / treatment aspect of that really sucked. I got more therapy in an outpatient setting than I ever got in an inpatient setting... But maybe there is an inpatient program you are thinking about doing?
