inny they wont put u in hosp for si itself
it is only when ur at major risk at suicide or harm to others
and then they assess ur mental state aswell

but they give u a choice first they ask if u wood want to go
if you say no but they feel there is too greater risk they will strongly encourage u to go and at last resort section u( make u involunatry)
there are no padded cells.. there are seclusion rooms which are just that like time out
there is high dependency units where there are less clients/staff ratio meant to be lower stimuli and then there are low dependency which is just main hosp area
where most ppl are
if u voluntarily go u will be in low dependency - u may request time in high dependency but that will be up to the staff as to whether u can go as they have to make sure they are not going over numbers...

inny trust someone who has ongoing suicidal thoughts - you can confide in T cos it dont mean they will put u in hosp.. even when im worse im still not there...
they work with you not against you
and they try and find the best way to help you
and sometimes that isnt hosp
