I wonder if there are any respite houses near you? I usually prefer to go to them when I need counsel and supervision, rather than a hospital. It's a house for short term care, usually a weekend to a week, sometimes longer placements can be found as well.
It sounds as if it's time for us to evaluate the way institutions for mental health are run. This isn't the 1950s anymore, and we have learned so much about mental health issues since then. Shouldn't that be reflected in the places that people go for treatment? That sounds like a place that would have destroyed my mental health instead of healing it.
