In my state the only really long-term psych hospital is the state hospital, which I've heard isn't that pleasant. I think, however, they are offering fewer and fewer beds. I guess there might be some rehabilitation center for richer people that seem like resorts that could be longer term, but I've obviously never been there.

I think most people in my state go to one of the private psych hospitals or in the psych ward of a general hospital. They tend to be shorter stays for most patients, then they refer patients to Partial Hospitalization (8 hour per day programs) or Intensive Outpatient Programs (4 hours per day).

The longest I spent inpatient in a private hospital was 32 days, which was really two back to back stays. I then went to IOP.
