Could be. You can get away from some people, but you can't get away from yourself and you get a whole new batch of folks to bug you in whole new ways.

Also, be prepared to be bored, bored, bored. I always went back to heavy smoking in the hospital because there was nothing else to do except listen to the 4th lecture of the day on the importance of healthy eating and good sleep habits (like anyone can sleep in the hospital - you try getting a good nights sleep with your roommate who's detoxing.)

Still, some people who are willing to play the game and go to all the life skills classes and make collages and have someone watching your back at all times can probably get a lot out of it. I was just never one of those people myself.

I can see how a break from the stress of your life would be appealing. Just remember, you have to go back out there sometime - so you'd better spend your time as an inpatient figuring out what you're going to do when you get dumped back in the middle of it.

Good luck with it. And definitely check out your hospital before hand and know what you're getting into. Of course, you can always ask the opinion of your dr or therapist. Cheers...
