Hi my stepdad was recently release too soon from our local psych hospital. He is even more manic then he was when he went in. I'm the only person he will listen to for some reason. I'm going to his house on a few hours to ask him to go into the hospital.. I think he may listen to me, my question is I know I can't just show up at the front door to the psych unit how do I go about getting him admitted? I want everything in place for If he does say yes.

I have never been to the hospital, but I think you first have to go to the ER. That's what I have heard from others anyway.

I hope you can get him some help.

The e.r's the way to go. Does he have health insurance? You can also call the mental health provider for info.
Good luck!

unfortunately, you will still need to survive the wait at the ER, even though this is for RE-admittance. Same rules apply.

I hope you will get him in.
