I don't understand why your cc told you that he would have lots of work if you went to the cassel? Typically your psychiatrist would write the referral and then the cassel would assess you and if you were admitted they would take over your care for the period you were there. They would probably invite your psychiatrist and care co-ordinator to a CPA meeting once a month but beyond that I don't think your cc would have lots of extra work.
Don't feel guilty about the option of going to the cassel, if it's been made available to you then please seriously consider going and having the assessment. From what you have written it sounds like a good option for you right now. Acute wards do not offer intensive therapy and are only really a good short term option to keep you safe. Somewhere like the cassel will help you to develop the skills you need to recover and stay well long term without revolving door admissions to the psych ward.
