Inpatient was very definitely worth it for me. I went in on Halloween and stayed for a week. During that time I got intensive therapy and a couple of med adjustments in which I had input.....my IP psychiatrist was a lot like my own pdoc, and consulted with me as to what I was willing to try. The atmosphere was reasonably pleasant and even the food was good. We had access to a tablet at the nurses' station during the evening hours after groups were over for the day, so I was able to keep up with the outside world. All in all, it was a surprisingly good experience for a psych hospitalization, and I'd do it again if I were ever to find myself in a similar situation.
