The State Hospital Solution

A family intervention replaces one bedroom, some drugs, and friendly conversation with an institutional version of the same routine.

Father: Son, lately, all you do is sit in your room, use drugs, and talk to your friends about your problems. So we've decided to send you to a state hospital for help. Mother: Where you will sit in a room, take their drugs, and talk to strangers about your problems.
