The least amount of time is 6 months (they make you sign a contract), and then it would still be up to them whether I am "well enough" to be an outpatient again. I don't think I'll be "well enough" to just quit after 6 months either, and because I'm in Canada, this is all under public health in a hospital, so it's not like being with a private therapist in the US. They all work under that medical model, even outpatient, with people at this hospital being considered really ill. The therapy is all meshed in with your pdoc and meds and all that, in the same department.
