5150
5150 is a California statute that allows for the temporary hospitalization of an individual who is deemed to be a danger to themselves or others as a result of having a mental health disorder. It can be used to save someone from impending harm, such as suicide, self-mutilation, or violence toward other people. It is typically invoked when an individual refuses involuntary admission into a psychiatric facility by police officers or medical professionals. This statute is an important tool in managing and addressing the potential consequences of mental health issues. https://thetreatmentspecialist.com/5150-hold/
