Things must have changed since I worked psych as all patients dressed in street clothes all personal items and clothes were gone through before the patient could have them and the patient searched as well. Anything sharp, with alchohol like mouth wash, mirrors etc. the patient was issued a locker and they were locked up. Even blowdryers had to be signed out before using. The staff me included was trained in take down and restraints if needed and an order for a major tranquilzer to be given and the pdoc called. All got a regular physical too. Phillipa
