[One of the forms of operation of a day-night hospital complex (with a stage of round-the-clock hospital stays) at a psychoneurologic dispensary].

A variant of a diurnal-nocturnal inpatient complex on the basis of a psychoneurological dispensary involving a short period of round-the-clock hospitalization of patients is described. This proved advisable in the treatment of three groups of patients (n = 260): (1) those with acute manifestations of the disease (to carry out intensive therapy), (2) those with subacute paroxysms and prolonged psychotic states (to conduct arresting therapy), (3) with conflicts in the microsocial environment (with the aim of their temporary isolation). Such an organizational form makes it possible to expand intensive therapy and increase a number of patients with acute psychotic manifestations treated outside the settings of a closed hospital.
