This hasn't been my experience at all. All of my therapists when they've recommended that I go inpatient, have been very concerned about me, and recognized that I needed more intensive treatment than they could provide.

I've been inpatient 3 times, and with one small exception, my experiences at the hospital (same one all three times) were all positive. The staff were caring, and there were therapy groups throughout the day. And each discharge was followed by 8 weeks out of outpatient programming.

Maybe I've just been lucky, but I do believe good hospitals exist.
