I've been inpatient a lot for bipolar disorder, and every time I'm there, there are some teens there on a 72 hour hold for cutting. The hospital's OK tho,if you are the teen. You see a psychiatrist and a counselor&they give you a med workup. you go to classes too. If you are mostly under control, outpatient may be enough. It depends on the teen. The ones I saw were very irresponsible and had a real attitude, and thus needed more than outpatient. (they didn't want to get better).
