Reply to comment by Riverrun221 in What is the healthcare system like here for those with Medicaid ? And how are mental health services? by Riverrun221

When you admit yourself here you can leave when you want if they asses you to not be a threat to yourself or others (take that how you will), and assuming you comply with their rules you can keep your rights for the most part

Interesting. Admitting myself and getting put on a 5150 hold I was stripped from all my rights. I was treated like a criminal. Dehumanized for 14 days. I will never admit myself to a hospital ever again because of it.

For all the many many many many flaws this state has, being in the hospital is better than dying. The mental health system is a joke everywhere you go in this country, PA is no exception, but at least you might get some level of care, maybe
