397.675 Criteria for involuntary admissions,
including protective custody, emergency admission, and other involuntary
assessment, involuntary treatment, and alternative involuntary assessment for
minors, for purposes of assessment and stabilization, and for involuntary
treatment. ---A person meets the criteria for involuntary
admission if there is good faith reason to believe the person is substance
abuse impaired and, because of such impairment:
(1) Has lost the power of self-control with respect to substance
use; and either
(2)
(a) Has inflicted, or threatened or attempted to inflict, or unless
admitted is likely to inflict, physical harm on himself or herself or another;
or
(b) Is in need of substance abuse services and, by reason of
substance abuse impairment, his or her judgment has been so impaired that the
person is incapable of appreciating his or her need for such services and of
making a rational decision in regard thereto; however, mere refusal to receive
such services does not constitute evidence of lack of judgment with respect to
his or her need for such services.
History: s. 6, ch. 93-39; s. 737, ch. 95-148.
