Description

Provides a means by which families may petition the court for involuntary treatment on behalf of an adult who is abusing alcohol and/or drugs. The treatment options available under the law can vary depending on circumstances of each individual case, and can range from detoxification to intensive treatment through recovery. The family who is filing must locate and select an inpatient treatment program (no outpatient programs). Generally the program or facility should be in the immediate area, but approval is at the court's discretion.
