Drug Rehab Centers

My father is very deep into drugs and I know what I can do about it. you can not involuntarily commit someone (even an observation of 24) unless they are threats to harm or kill themselves or someone else is only possible if it threatens to hurt yourself or others is called the 51/50 rule. Even if you can not apply to mental health centers. Sorry about your father must be a difficult situation. The answer is not important. The only exception is that it may be possible for the government to order a person in rehab. But this way is very difficult and would have to commit a crime. It s basically like a judge to order someone to jail. The other option is if it is a threat to himself or others with severe disabilities could be placed in a psychiatric hospital. And there could be a wedge or 72hr, if doctors deem necessary, now. If you do this, you may be able to convince (and less of the drug for a couple of days). And although it would not people with mental illnesses, sometimes drunk themselves or others, so the idea could violate the psychiatric hospital and at a minimum, if he ever violent intoxicated or in need of medical care that may be in a hospital and coming see what they can do. Unfortunately I have no better answer. But involuntary commitment to a depressed person is difficult enough for an addict almost impossible .
