30 - 60 day stay - that likely is not fully covered by your insurance, but you can call to find out. I tried to commit suicide back in 2014 by overdose, and ended up in my local hospital's mental health ward for about 10 days. I did find it helpful, and the other patients were nice people. I never felt unsafe. They had a lot of great group sessions that I found very helpful. Of course not every facility is the same, and could even vary from week to week depending on who the patients are at the time. I'd ask my therapist for another suggestion for a facility/hospital offering shorter term stays.
