Mental Hospital Treatment, Residential Mental Health & the Care Path

Mental hospital treatment is hospital-level inpatient psychiatry used for acute crises (safety risk, psychosis, severe deterioration). After stabilization, many transition to residential mental health (24/7 therapeutic residence) and then to PHP, IOP, and weekly outpatient to rebuild steady routines.
