Psychiatric hospitalizations tend to be good for certain things, like schizophrenia where the patient went off his meds and out of control manic episodes. I think the program was just looking for an easy way to outsource a new problem rather than to provide any help.

As you are learning, a problem with psych medications (including stimulants) in general is that it's often a naturalistic science experiment to find something that works. And it's sometimes very frustrating and scary for all parties involved.
