Did you read the article? It seems like this model actually results in fewer patients behind sent into hospitalization (which actually is like an asylum).

This article is about emergency care; it has nothing to do with long-term mental health facilities like asylums. Did you actually read it?

This seems to be the opposite of asylums - put people in temporary care, give them treatment beyond just sedation and anti-psychotics, help get them stabilized, put together a care plan, and then send them home or to the next stage of treatment.

Technically that is already what is supposed to be happening.
Temporary holds however seem to have temporary effects, except for the trauma, legal side effects, bills, etc. anyway. 5150 holds are a bad joke.

You haven’t experienced the full inadequacy of the US health system until you’ve paid out the nose for a night of “observation” at the hospital.
