To put someone on a psychological hold you must prove that the person is mentally unstable enough to be a danger to themselves or to others.
A doctor or court order would be needed to get someone put on a psychological hold involuntarily.
Some ways to initiate the process of getting someone put on a psychological hold are.
Your family doctor or a psychiatrist.
Your local hospital.
A lawyer specializing in mental health law.
Your local police department.
Your state protection and advocacy association.
The code for a psych hold is 5150.
5150 is the number of the section of the Welfare and Institutions Code, which allows an adult who is experiencing a mental health crisis to be involuntarily detained for a 72- hour psychiatric hospitalization due to threat of harm to self, others, or being gravely disabled.
You cannot get out of a 5150 hold until you're deemed safe to yourself and others.
A 5150 was the number established by the Welfare and Institutions Code that can put an adult in an involuntary hold for 72-hours.
A person has to be considered a danger to themselves or others to be put into a 5150 involuntary hold.
A 5150 hold is not an arrest or a criminal charge so it should not and usually does not go on your record.
Usually, anything like a mental health record in the normal course of employment and/or tenant screening cannot be seen.
It would have to be a criminal charge or be something else that is listed on a public index, like a criminal record or eviction(s) record(s).
You cannot refuse a 5150 hold as you'll be forcefully and involuntarily committed for the hold.
Then if you're deemed safe and not a harm to yourself or others you'll be released.
During the 72 hours you will be evaluated by the facility staff, and you may be given treatment, including medications.
It is possible for you to be released before the end of the 72 hours.
But if the staff decides that you need continued treatment you can be held for a longer period of time.
You have the right to refuse medical treatment or treatment with medications (except in an emergency) unless a capacity hearing is held and a hearing officer or a judge finds that you do not have the capacity to consent to or refuse treatment.
A 5250 in mental health means a 14 day hold and is also known as 14 day holds.
"Certification for Intensive Treatment" for a period of 14 days for persons alleged to meet the legal criteria of being a danger to self or others or gravely disabled due to a mental disorder.
Unlike a 5150 hold a 5250 hold requires that the individual served receive a court hearing within 4 days of being served to ascertain the validity of the hold.
Again, if the individual is (at any time) deemed to be no longer a danger or gravely disabled, they are then released from the hospital.
After a 72 hour psych hold in Ohio the mental hospital or psych ward will either let you go or if they deem you a threat to yourself or others they can and will then apply for a court order to hold you longer.
At the end of 72 hours, if someone has been on a 5150 hold and still meets one of the three criteria (e.g. danger to self, others, or gravely disabled) then the attending psychiatrist can file a 5250, or "certification for up to fourteen days of intensive psychiatric treatment".
When you go to the psych ward your phone will be taken away and then eventually be given back to you once you leave the psych ward or mental hospital.
You'll have access to a phone inside the mental hospital to make and receive calls.
You can be forced to go to a mental hospital through a court order or if you're Baker Acted such as in Florida.
If the court sees you as a threat to yourself or others then the judge can sign an order to have you involuntarily committed.
However if you're not deemed a threat to yourself or others then you won't be forced to go into a mental hospital.
A 72 hour hold is the same as being involuntarily committed.
However after 72 hours you have to be released or they have to get a court order to hold you any longer.
An emergency hold (also called a 72-hour hold, a pick-up, an involuntary hold, an emergency commitment, a psychiatric hold, a temporary detention order, or an emergency petition) is a brief involuntary detention of a person presumed to have a mental illness in order to determine whether the individual meets criteria.
A hospital or mental hospital can legally hold you involuntarily for up to 72 hours if they see you as a danger to yourself or others.
