Hi dear,
Treatment of mental disorder is depend on how long illness, type of mental illness, treatment response, episode of illness, continuation of treatment etc...
some mental illness treatment with short term treatment and some required long term treatment.
For mental illness treatment consult psychiatrist and give him a detail history and mental status examination from that he can tell you how long she required treatment.
What ever you described about her symptoms suggest she has kleptomania in which irresistible urge to still, and might other problem also but for that detail history required.
There are many mental asylum but you need to ask your doctor in your area.
Thank you.
