At least in the uk they let us keep our phones and provide free wifi/Internet access.

Having internet was the only thing that kept me sane while staying on the wards, which is darkly ironic considering why I was in there in the first place.

I've read on threads like these that in the USA and Canada actual therapy is provided for inpatients though, which is something useful at least. In the UK, inpatient facilities are literally just holding pens till they decide if you're well enough (able to put up with the abhorrent behaviour of the staff without swearing or being visibly distressed for at least 3 days) to be released.
