You should check out your consent is not required by Rob Wipond! He breaks down the bed crisis as a manufactured push for institutionalizationโฆ. The beds that exist are forced upon involuntary patientsโฆ. I would agree that there is a lack of voluntary beds, but the treatment advocacy center (group who produces these numbers) are financially tied to mass institutionalization and are deeply invested in the bed crisis as a story that we all believe

I wonder what the numbers are for supportive housing (which was the idea when people supported the closure of the inpatient psych beds). I know it's low af, but the lack of intermediary care is definitely part of why inpatient psych is overwhelmed

Start looking at the increase in for-profit IP care + dual dx detox clinics, started creeping up in the 90s & 00s, and how that overlaps with their local populationsโs long term MH outcomes. Especially in rural areas, they tend to be the only local alternative to state care and can be shady with insurance claims.
