> T says that it's better to stay in the "real world" if you can, b/c it's what we have to do...might be too much of a shock to go to nice inpatient (depending on program) and then be thrown back into the big sad world. :(It doesn't take long for a person to become institutionalized in a hospital. Many come to rely on the hospital to supply services that allow one's own survival skills to deteriorate. Reentering the outside world without them can be incredibly difficult, especially without a support system.
