You know when you hear that someone's severe mental health issues "fell through the cracks in the system?"
Don't believe it. There is no system. It's all one giant crack.
Families can pay between $1500-$5500 per week for moderate-to-great inpatient treatment--forever--or individuals can be locked up in abhorrent public hospital conditions for a max of 10-14 days before they are sent out the door again, whether or not they are better. Permanent institutionalization almost always has to be associated with a prison sentence.
