Figure 3 shows that the state-level average length of a MH stay ranged from 4.0 to 14.0 days (in contrast to a national average of 8.0 days). The range in the length of SA stays was narrower: from 3.2 to 6.2 days across the states examined here (in contrast to the national average of 4.8 days). Variations in the average length of stay can reflect state-level differences in case-mix, treatment practices, presence of
