I am sorry to hear that you and friend or family are going through such difficult days! In past experience, patient is held at psychiatric unit of hospital for 3 days (if the suicide attempt did not necessarily require hospital stay). I am not sure if Cartersville Medical Center has a psychiatric unit but I believe patient will have a say in who knows where they are going. I hope i helped and may God Bless You through this time.
They probably were 1013'd after being given a psych eval. After that, they were sent to any local psych facility in the area depending on where their insurance covered or where they asked to go. The eval takes a few hours at least.
