I've been admitted to short- and long-term plus partial (day) hospital programs. They didn't really help if anything they added to what I was already dealing with. If it weren't for my first hospitalization I would've never had access to prescription meds and I would've never OD the first time landing me in ICU for 5 days. Before hospitals, I wasn't doing great but I was definitely doing way better than when I got out.
Going to groups is basically brainwashing us into "thinking positively" DBT can't fix your problems you can only change your perspectives on the circumstances you have little control over.
Some staff were nice and actually listens to what we said, but most of them treated us like shit, like were fucked up and there's no hope for us.
Worse of thing is probably when staff would literally restrain me on the floor and give me an IM (I'm not a violent person and I've never gotten into any fights)
People get involuntarily admitted when a doctor decides that they are a danger to themselves or others. A lot of patients I've seen in the short-term don't need to be in a locked-down facility, most of them are there to get a psych evl. A psych evaluation does not take 2 weeks, they will keep making reasons to keep you longer and extend your stay just to get your insurance money. Once your insurance stops paying they discharge you right away, leaving you with more problems and new traumas.
