Compulsory Treatment Programs

Compulsory Treatment Programs are court-ordered interventions for individuals with mental health disorders or substance abuse issues who may pose a risk to themselves or others. These programs mandate treatment, such as therapy, medication, or rehabilitation, regardless of the person's consent, aiming to promote recovery and ensure safety. They are typically used when voluntary treatment has failed or when there's an urgent need to address behavior that could lead to harm. The goal is to balance individual rights with societal protection, often involving legal oversight to ensure appropriate care and monitoring.
