[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I will pass along what my DD's psychiatrist told us: that hospital admits are geared toward crisis stabilization, and the whole decision hinges on what insurance companies want: evidence that the patient is a clear danger to herself or to others. Anecdotally, he reports that PIW is often a pretty dysregulated and chaotic environment. Children's is often recommended as the quieter/less emergent caseload option, but I didn't find that to be the case when my DD was admitted. Of the local hospitals, our psychiatrist recommends Inova Fairfax/Kellar.[/quote]
