Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The milieu provides a structured environment with programming designed to provide a stable routine and promote mental health. This may be missing in the less structured home environment, leading to decompensation. Peer pressure, visitor restrictions, and mandated activities may have a role in certain aspects of treatment but are not the primary reason for the difference in functioning between the hospital and home environments in this scenario.
