Ok, to be honest I have been in close to 10 phyc wards and most of them have a phone you can use, you cant have any strings, shoe laces, electronics, the beds do suck some places are better than others, sometimes you have a room mate which there are pro's and con's about that. You do get your vitals taken everyday, they may or may not put you on meds, they do check on everyone during the night the time varies from place to place mine was usually every 30 min they would just open the door or peak in. There are alot of groups you will need to attend. The food is decent. I dont know where you live so I cant tell you a whole lot. Dont be shy and dont lie be truthful to you and the staff and doctors. You will get better quicker!! I hope I answered the best I can, I am in a rotten place in my mental health right now..
I've been baker acted before when I was 16,I'm 22 now.it wasn't too bad really but then again I was with kids and there was only one real psychotic person in there...I can only imagine what it's like where the adult go.anyways..when I first went inside,they put me in a small room with four walls ,locked the steel door with a tiny window,drug.tested me,then yelled at me because I was dirty and didn't admit I was before I took the test.then took me into what seemed like a hospital/rehab/jail all in one.I had to sleep on a mattress on the floor the first night so they could "watch" me..then the other nights I had to leave my room door open,as did everyone else.they scare the **** out of me every morning by waking me up to take my blood pressure at 5:30 am,get up at 6:00am ,eat,do group sessions,then one on one sessions and family session a few times.I was there for five.days..but seemed like a month.I was aloud to make one 10 minute Phone call a night and in bed by 9:00.I hated nights.
