Answer #3

I wish I’d seen this question first, before I answered your other question. I guess mental hospital makes me picture psych ward. What you’re talking about is a rehabilitation center or a treatment facility. They’re more long term dealing with specific problems like eating disorders, self harm, addiction, etc… They’re usually nice… You have your own room or you share with 1 or 2 people. You do individual therapy a couple of times a week (with the doctor), lots of group therapy and other activities… They’re there to teach you other coping skills so you dont have to hurt yourself. They’ll probably check your stuff but I dont know if they’ll take it… It depends on place to place…

I’m surprised your parents didnt try individual outpatient therapy before considering a facility?
