What is Involuntary Admission?

Involuntary Admission, or Civil Commitment refers to a legal process created to get an individual the help he or she may need, regardless of whether or not the individual is actively seeking mental health help. When an individual who may be at risk of causing serious harm to him or herself or others, he or she may be legally obligated to be committed to a mental health treatment facility for his or her own good. An involuntary inpatient treatment program may help you or your loved one recover from serious mental illness in a safe and stable environment.

At AMFM Mental Health Treatment, those who are admitted involuntarily are met with the same compassionate inpatient care as any other client, with their human experience at the forefront, and without judgment or shame. The goal of civil involuntary commitment is to drastically reduce the risk of physical harm in a mental health crisis.
