Location from House M.D. by David Shore
The psychiatric facility where House voluntarily committed himself after his Vicodin-fueled hallucinations became indistinguishable from reality — the place where he finally admitted he needed help.
House checked himself into Mayfield after realizing his hallucinations of Amber and Kutner were symptoms of Vicodin-induced psychosis, not grief. At Mayfield, he was stripped of everything that defined him — his medical practice, his team, his diagnostic authority, his drugs. He was treated by Dr. Darryl Nolan, who helped him confront the emotional damage he'd been anesthetizing with Vicodin for years. He formed a genuine connection with a woman named Lydia. He got clean. Mayfield is important because it's the only time House admits he's broken. Not just his leg — his mind, his personality, his entire way of being. The detox was physical agony. The therapy was worse. He left sober and lasted about as long as anyone expected.
An institutional psychiatric facility with the sterile calm of a place designed to contain people who have lost their grip on the world. White walls, locked doors, communal areas with the forced cheerfulness of places that treat serious mental illness. Nothing like PPTH — here, House is the patient, not the doctor.
