This isn't the case in Illinois. If you check in voluntarily and wish to
leave before the Docs want you too you have to request a leave AMA and the
doctors have 72 hours before they have to legally let you go. Don't ever
admit your self to a Psych hospital. If they can't help you outpatient you
don't want their help.
