Greatly varies: The length of stay at a psychiatric hospital can be dependent upon multiple things including laws in your state severity of the illness and also insurance coverage.

That depends on: How long it takes for you to feel better. Having said that, a hospitalization usually lasts between 5 and 10 days.
