I'm not sure my experience will be revelant as i'm in the UK - i tried to contribute to a similar thread as this before and got shouted down for providing information that i still think is equally applicable.

Basically, do your research, know clearly what it is you can expect and whether that falls in line with your own expectations. Generally inpatient stays are about stabilization and don't offer much in the way of therapy. But this can still vary - again it depends on where you go, why and how much you pay. If you're feeling unsafe it wouldn't hurt to inquire. If you're already under a healthcare team of sorts can you maybe ask them for advice? They might be able to recommend a few suitable places. Also be mindful of the fact that you can end up becoming involuntary so i would also make sure you settle everything as much as you can before you leave, especially if you don't have many people to rely on outside of a hospital environment.

I hope this is vaguely useful. I'm sure other members here will have more to contribute. Best of luck.
