What is Voluntary Admission for Mental Health Treatment?

Voluntary admission or voluntary commitment refers to when a person decides to place him or herself on a psychiatric hold in a psychiatric facility or mental health treatment program. This happens most often when an individual is facing a mental health crisis and looking for medical advice and crisis services. Entering a psychiatric unit on a voluntary basis for a mental health crisis may look different for different people; you or a loved one may be suffering from psychosis, threatening suicide, feeling out of control, or you may be a risk to yourself or others. 

Unlike an involuntary commitment or involuntary admission which may be required by a police officer, legal guardian or court order, voluntary commitment is encouraged, rather than required. Voluntary admission may be recommended after a psychiatric evaluation or as a higher level of care from an outpatient program.

In any case, AMFM Mental Health Treatment has a clinical team made up of staff members who are trained to regard voluntary patients with the utmost care. Whether you’re looking for Residential Treatment, Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), the AMFM Admissions process is designed to make this transition easy and comfortable, without meeting you with any shame. Calling into our admissions team is also completely free of charge.

What Mental Health Program Options Are Offered for Admission at AMFM?

Inpatient/Residential Treatment

Residential mental health facilities are designed to offer resources, structure, and treatment plans to those struggling with a variety of mental health conditions in a live-in environment.

Our Residential Facilities have qualified clinicians on staff, to provide medication management, therapeutic programming, and the highest level of care.

Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions through a combination of group and individual therapy.
