Sorry. LOL you think it is some kind of camp or spa type place where you  
can chill out? Newsflash they are not there to help people, they are there  
to stop death. That is all.  
 
You want in one, you find a way to get someone to pay for it. Full stop.  
And you will NOT like it, because like I said, there are genuine crazy  
people in there, & you will be at risk.  
 
If you make up being suicidal or homicidal, you will not get insurance  
ever again, & can kiss goodbye to good jobs. So think carefully before you  
say that to get in. They will know you are lying. If you're really  
homocidal you are obviously keeping it under control, so you don't need to  
be put away. If you don't you'd already be flipping out, not typing calmly  
& coherantly online about how to schedule you 'get away' & worrying about  
freaking cigarette breaks

I can tell you that piercings will not be allowed. You will not have to  
cover ur tattoos. Doctors will advise the length of ur stay & will  
evaluate ur progress. You don' need to take anything except sleep wear &  
basic clothes. Check with them about mobile phones. They may only permit  
you to use a pay phone in the hospital. Cigarettes will not be allowed  
unless they permit you to smoke outside in the grounds. You will need to  
check this too but they will not doubt advise against especially if you  
are put on medication  
 
Get well soon

If you up the ante & say you are suicidal/homicidal, you will get  
transferred immediately to a state hospital (you do NOT want this).  
 
Your best bet here is to get into outpatient treatment at a community  
mental health center (that is where they're going to refer you anyway if  
you decide to go for an assessment). Here is a link to get you started:

Before you do this, you need to consider what state you are in.
