Only when I was a teenager. There aren’t any in my state so it was the state hospital. Total hell. Laughable “treatment”. No groups, no therapy, just medication up to the eyeballs (several of the girls in my unit were on Thorazine four times a day, including an eleven year old). Lots of time to sit around. Staff was horrible. After I left they managed to kill a girl by restraining her improperly and get the place shut down. Thank god for that.
Anyway I imagine private facilities are much nicer. I wanted to go to one when I was 19 and going through absolute hell but I couldn’t afford it. I only had state insurance and like I said I would have had to travel out of state somewhere.
