My hospital has an OT who does groups a few times a day. There is nutrition weekly, pharmacy education weekly, some random guy from IOP does a group weekly, sometimes there is art therapy (my favorite). NAMI comes in and does a presenation a few times a month; I've managed to hit the same with 5 admissions. I skip it now. There is a computer and exercise bike for patients to use. There games, simple crafts, coloring out all the time. They want us to be busy. Before anyone is sent home the social worker sets up therapy and pdoc visits for them if they aren't already in place. so yes, there are much better experiences.
