I was recently involuntarily hospitalized for a week, and during the admission/intake process I was strip searched and forced to shower. I’m not here to complain, I’m just wondering why they have to treat us like prisoners?

It’s to make sure you don’t have any weapons or drugs on your person. In theory, if everyone you worked with was deemed by a judge to be a danger to themselves or others, you might be interested in making sure the people that are by definition deemed dangerous aren’t armed before you try to give them medication or restrain them.
