Michigan still has three! MDCH - State-Operated Psychiatric Hospitals

But you're right, Johnny, they do things all differently than they use to.

Look at your state halliebeth, see how it does mental health? One's stay usually isn't as long as they use to be so they aren't as "scary", part of the scary was the fear they'd "throw away the key". They don't/can't do that anymore.

My state has "designated psychiatric emergency facilities": http://dhmh.maryland.gov/mha/SitePag...acilities.aspx
