[QUOTE="Andy, post: 154582, member: 5096"] Day treatment is a day long out-patient program. It is more intense than a regular outpatient program where you see a counselor a few time a week for 1 - 2 hours each day. Each facility is different. I work for a facility that our day treatment for chemical dependency is 6 hours each day for 4 days a week. The patient gets to go home at night and weekend. So, if there is a possibility of the patient abusing anyone, I would also be worried about letting her go home at night. You can ask the facility to do an assessment upon admission to determine which level of care would be most appropriate. Does the psychiatrist know about her violence toward mother in law? Unless, you can get her committed through the courts for treatment, I believe she has the right to refuse any. So, if she agrees to hospitalization and then changes her mind, they have to discharge her. I do think there may be a procedure that she needs to give notification of her wish for discharge which may buy a day or two? You would have to check with the facility. If sister in law decides to be angry at this at all, will she take her anger out on mother in law? Do what you can to protect mother in law. [/QUOTE]
