What should I do in a mental health crisis?
Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call 911 in an emergency. Psychiatric hospitals usually admit through an emergency department or a crisis assessment, not by walk-in.
Is a mental hospital the same as a psychiatric hospital?
Yes. "Mental hospital" is an older, informal name for a psychiatric hospital: a hospital that treats only mental health and behavioral conditions. Some general hospitals also run an inpatient psychiatric unit. This page lists both kinds and marks the units.
How long do people stay in a psychiatric hospital?
It depends on the person, the condition and the reason for admission. Inpatient care is meant to get someone safely through a crisis, so stays are usually short-term, and the care team plans follow-up treatment, such as outpatient therapy, before discharge. To find ongoing treatment, use SAMHSA's FindTreatment.gov.
What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary admission?
A voluntary admission is one the patient agrees to. An involuntary admission, sometimes called an emergency hold, happens without the patient's consent, usually after an evaluation finds the person may be a danger to themselves or others. Each state's law sets the rules, the time limits and who can start a hold, so they differ from state to state. This is general information, not legal or medical advice. If someone is in crisis now, call or text 988, or call 911 in an emergency.
