What is Inpatient Therapy?

Inpatient hospitalization for mental health conditions may be necessary to manage acute psychiatric episodes or for other treatment that requires more intensive care than outpatient care can provide. Involuntary admissions may be initiated if the patient is at risk to harm him/herself or others.
