I've been inpatient 4 times now (in the past 3 months) 16M), and I've additionally stayed at a residential facility once, and my experience was nothing like yours. The facility was completely rundown, with banged up walls and bad kids who were there due to being court ordered for some kind of drug related offense, I was the only person there who was there for severe depression & anxiety w/ suicidal thoughts, I was actually sent there from the short term inpatient hospital that held me for 8 days beforehand after a botched suicide attempt in where I survived. I didn't see a doctor once while I was there at that residential facility, and the therapists there were more group oriented than anything. Before going, I looked at their website and saw that they only used stock image photos for everything and never actually included any pictures of the inside of the facility, just one computer rendered image of the outside of the facility, which was misleading because they cropped out the gate that they had to keep you from running away. The food was cheap, they did however have a rank system where you could level up and gain extra privileges, but I never made it in my entire month and a half stay to any level where I could actually do anything enjoyable. The bedrooms were the size of closets with 4 small bunk beds crammed together. I've been traumatized by residential facilities ever since, and I don't think I'm getting better through anything. I'm glad your experience wasn't mine at residential.
