Involuntary commitment, also known as civil commitment, is a legal process in which an individual is admitted to a mental health facility against their will. This process is regulated by medical law and is typically used when an individual is deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. The process is initiated by a petition filed by a family member, friend, or mental health professional. The petition is then reviewed by a judge who will decide whether or not to grant the commitment. Involuntary commitment is a controversial topic, as it raises questions about the rights of individuals and the power of the state. It is important to note that the process is not intended to be punitive, but rather to ensure the safety of the individual and those around them. Companies in the involuntary commitment market include Liberty Healthcare Corporation, Universal Health Services, and Acadia Healthcare. Show Less Read more
