Definition:
Civil Commitment is a form of involuntary commitment. It is a legal process through which a practitioner can have the court order an individual into treatment in a psychiatric hospital or in the community once they have deemed the individual to be a danger to themselves or others.
It's not often, but it does happen that consumers with co-occurring disorders will have to be civilly commitment for their own protection. This falls under Duty to Warn, as practitioners are also mandated reporters.
