I know there are group homes near where the community clinics are. Unfortunately most of those are for men only. There may be one for women but I haven’t heard of it. Other people live in small apartments and are visited by health workers.
The only long-term facility I know of is way out of town. I don’t even think we have state facilities anymore. There’s a hospital that houses violent individuals but most go out of town.
I’ve only been in for short periods of time, and there are times I should’ve stayed in longer but once meds were changed it seemed I was booted out the door. Good mental health professionals are being redirected to deal with the substance abuse crisis so I don’t think a state facility would be good here unless for forensic purposes.
