HRSA? I didn't know that stood for "High Risk of Self Abuse" o.O I always thought it was just a nursing program.
Either way, that would make perfect sense in this scenario.
Basically, from the sound of things, he's been committed to a mental hospital, and he's hating it. He's witnessing the people there, such as his roommate, and realizing how alone they truly are in there; how miserable he is, and that in order to escape it, he's going to have to get himself on-track again, and keep himself under control (Hence the line about lying about his self-abusive nature, and the "I won't cry over anything at all"..) If he does that, he'll leave sooner.
Another side-note, the "walk into group for the show" makes me think of those old-time stories of doctors taking mental patients and doing "operations" on them to "cure them" in front of a group of on-lookers, and in this context, it's as if he's reminding the viewers to remember who these people are, and that some may only be there because they've been wronged, or had their "boundaries" breached.
i think the "walk into group for the show" means that the doctors and them are now observing the patients to just keep them longer. so, they do the show, pretend, lie, whatever, just to get out. brilliant.
can be both :)

No, group is group therapy. When you're committed they make you go to group sessions three times a day and it's you and all the other patients in the room with the therapist and you just go around the room telling your story and your problems and it really is one big show. Because everyone has a different, interesting story about why they are the way they are and how it affects them.
