just wanted to add to Miller's post- if you wait until you actually make an attempt, you are indeed in police custody and not treated very well. I also was moved to a private facility, but until after the 72 hours could not do anything constructive. It wasn't until day hospital- out-patient 8-5, that group therapy, etc. was offered. I did meet someone who went in voluntarily through her shrink who didn't go through the loops I did and was offered therapy right away. Plus getting your stomach pumped is pretty damn unpleasant. Like Miller said, communicate with your pdoc and best of luck- judy
