A reduction of hospital stay facilitates the readaptation of mental patients. One of the conditions for implementing short hospitalization is the intensity of biological treatment: intravenous drip administration of drugs with a rapid increase of doses, rapid neuroleptization, and combination of psychotropic drugs with methods of a general biological influence. A study of 100 patients treated by the routine way demonstrated that intensive therapy significantly reduces the time of hospitalization and promotes remissions. The studies showed that intensive therapy is desirable only in acute psychoses and during the early stages of its development.
