The one I went to was nice. You had vitals, blood draw, breakfast, and making your bed and the you had group sessions with breaks in between. Your doctor met with you once a day. If you were on suicide watch you had to eat in the building where you were staying, and coffee was decaf. Otherwise, you could go to the cafeteria and eat/drink whatever you wanted. There were 2 people per room and maybe 12 on the unit. One pay phone for everyone to share. You do get medication. They also do a strip search, lock valuables in safe, take razors, shoe laces, shampoo or toiletries containing alcohol, drawstrings in your clothing, etc. We had visitation in the evening. It was a very nice place. Plenty of cigarette breaks if you smoke. Use the place to help get yourself stable and be prepared that you may be a little scared when you leave. To me, it felt like a safe place with no stress. Bring there helped me tremendously. My last hospitalization was 8 years ago, so maybe things are different.
