Default How do I get information on mental wards? - 01-29-2009, 12:52 PM

I know this psychopath that has begun to worry me and has become a danger to himself, and possibly others around him. I desperately need information on mental facilities that can help him out. Any information on any facility in the Sacramento, California region would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is a great Hospital there with great programs. It is in California and a bit of a drive but would be worth it. It is called Del Amo and you can check it out on the Internet. Any local hospital that has a psyche ward will do for safety and to get him regulated on meds. You can go to any local ER and if they do not have the facilities there they will transfer him. I hope he gets the care he needs~

You have to call the police and then they can take him to the hospital and he will get treatment, but only if your claims are true or if he agrees. You may just think he is a danger, when in reality he's just acting bizarre.

If you try to hurt yourself or someone else you can be admitted. You can also be admitted voluntarily or by your parents. The people that are in there, are not in there longer than a month usually. The institutions of the old don't exist anymore. You can have generalized anxiety and be in the hospital. Insurance does not like to pay for your stay so hospitals do their best to get you treated and sent on your way. Two weeks is a common time stay. People with very sever disorders like psychotic schizophrenia usually live in a half way, 3/4 way house, or even on their own. They partici[ate in day programs which is considered outpatient. People who are in there seem as normal as you and I or anyone else. Movies make this seem much worse. THey used to give meds back in the day that cause tardive dyskenisa which causes grimacing of the face, tongue hanging out, etc. to schizophrenia that ade the patient look worse than they were. If you have ever been to an old folks home on an alzheimers ward, this is much worse than in-patient in a mental hospital.
