It's clear that insurance won't pay if I just say: guess what, I want to spend the next two weeks in a psychiatric institution. But I was thinking more about a kind of retreat with maybe what sidestepper suggests: art therapy, cog. therapy, mindfulness. So, anyone who could contribute with any link in the US, Canada, Ireland, or UK about such an institution. It would be greatly appreciated. Don't think about a psychiatric hospital, think more as a kind of vacation. In the same way that some people go to a spa to lose weight. I'd go to lose mental issues.
