Drug Rehab Center

My father is very deep into drugs and would like to know what I can do. You can not involuntarily commit someone (even 24 observations), if not imminent harm / kill themselves or someone else, you only if they are dangerous to themselves or to harm others is the 51/50 rule. Although it can only be applied to mental health centers. I'm sorry your father, there must be a difficult situation. The answer is no. The only real exception, it may be possible for the government to a person to go to a rehab. But to do this is very difficult and he is committing a crime. It is much like a judge ordering someone to jail. The other alternative is he a threat to himself or others or grave disability, he was in a psych hospital. And from there he could hold on a 72hr, or if the doctor considers it necessary, anymore. If you do, maybe they can convince him (and his medication for at least a few days). And although not otherwise mentally ill, sometimes drunk or otherwise injured, the idea would work and the mental hospital to a minimum if she ever violent or drunk He needs medical help, can reach a hospital and see what you can do. Sorry, I have a better response. involuntary, but a depressed person is very difficult and almost impossible for an employee .
