My research shows that Debs checked himself in for stress. He was an old man by then, and his body was surely weakened by the previous years in prison.

Also the sanitarium he was in, Lindlahr Sanitarium, seemed to be an interesting place:

In 1914, Dr. Henry Lindlahr bought 8 acres of the former Lathrop estate in Elmhurst, Illinois to establish the Lindlahr Sanitarium so that patients might receive "Nature Cure" in a country atmosphere. The sanitarium was in existence from 1914 to 1928.

The "Nature Cure" included a vegetarian diet, exercise, hydrotherapy, manipulation, sunbathes and airbathes. Brochures for the sanitarium stated no drugs, serums or surgery. The reason Henry Lindlahr became a doctor was because he was a diabetic. He eventually cured his Diabetes and lost 40 pounds; therefore, he devoted his life to being a Doctor Who didn't use medications.

Lindlahr Sanitarium was located on the south side of St. Charles Road between Cottage Hill Avenue and Prospect Avenue. The property eventually expanded to include an administration building; an annex, which had bedrooms, baths, parlors, porches, and the main treatment room; bungalows; and, in the summer, a tent city with screened tents with electric lights. The large, wooded grounds provided patients with plenty of room to get exercise, which was an important part of the "Nature Cure". Lindlahr Sanitarium had a sports program, which included tennis, Basketball, lawn croquet, volleyball and exercise groups.
