I was considered for clozapine earlier on this year. Because of the blood tests and my needle phobia I didnt go for it.

My psych said that (had we gone into it), I may have had to go into hospital or the home treatment team (what they call the crisis team) would have done, depending on bed status and what I felt I would prefer.

So no, it may not mean that you have to go into hospital. I would talk to your psych and discuss with him/her if hospital treatment is strictly necessary, and if there is an alternative. Unless hospital is what you would prefer that is.
