There is nothing to be afraid of, inpatient programs can be very good at the right hospital.

The length of time suggested seems a little long. Most insurance companies like shorter stays. It usually is up to you and your inpatient doctor to discuss and decide about the right time to discharge.

Sometimes, being inpatient can be a relief - some one else cooks, cleans. You just need to concentrate on YOU. Bring along a good book, magazines for free time.

I find that listening to my therapist's advice is always a good choice.
