Question

Is there any way to have someone addmitted to a rehab without them being able to sign themself out?

Answer 1

If the person is over 18 and legally sane, the only way I know is if it's court ordered in lieu of jail time.  Besides, you can soder someone up but you cannot make a person stay sober.  That's someone people have to want for themselves.

Answer 2

depends on who the person is.  a husband or parent can at times have someone commited.  They are normally held on a 72 hour hold.  

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

If the person's condition is severe enough to warrant an extended stay, the doctor in charge of that person will have the person stay until his/her behavior shows enough improvement for the person to be discharged safely from the facility.

Answer 5

you can if it's serious and they are in danger of hurting themselves or others.  

Answer 6

Not if this person is an adult. In some states, two or more adult family members can petition a judge to send another adult family member to rehab. That rehab might last a week or so. After the week or so, the person can be let go or sign himself/herself out.
