Hospital-based diagnostic and treatment services for those with acute psychiatric disorders that require hospitalization on a voluntary or involuntary basis, and that might make one a threat to themselves or others if left in the community or placed in a less restrictive treatment setting. The objective is to stabilize and return the individual to the community for ongoing treatment as quickly as possible, and to facilitate the transition by preparing the individual's family to cope with the limitations imposed by the illness and by arranging for other supportive services as required.
