I'd recommend reading Voluntary Madness by Norah Vincent. She describes her inpatient experiences at three different facilities. The first one is public and urban; the second one is private and rural; the third one is private and suburban.

Vincent also wrote a book called Self-Made Man. In it, she describes her experiences passing as a man for a year. Vincent was a wonderful writer. I say "was" because it was just announced today that she died last month.
