Writer Wondering About In-Patient Treatment For Childhood Schizophrenia?

Typically regimented schedule. Supervised bathing. Cafeteria meals with spoons. Scrubs and non skid socks. Schooling one hour. Group treatment 4 hours. Individual treatment 1/2 hour. Recreation one hour. Journal one hour. Visitation weekly with family therapy. No personal effects unless earned with treatment goals. Art therapy, occupational therapy, nursing, social work, psychology and psychiatry. Solitary time for fighting. High staff to patient ratio and 15 minute checks in isolation. Bleak depressing conformist sterile detached staff.
