Application For 72 Hour Detention For Evaluation And Treatment

APPLICATION FOR 72-HOUR DETENTION FOR EVALUATION AND TREATMENT. This is a California mental health form used to authorize the involuntary detention of an individual for psychiatric evaluation and treatment under Welfare and Institutions Code sections 5150 and 5585. The form documents the circumstances supporting probable cause that a person may be a danger to themselves, a danger to others, or gravely disabled due to a mental disorder. It also records required detention advisements, personal property information, responsible parties for minors or conservatees, and any confiscated firearms or dangerous weapons. Commonly completed by peace officers, designated county personnel, or mental health professionals, the form is used when transporting an individual to an approved evaluation facility for a 72-hour assessment period. www.FormsWorkflow.com
