An involuntary admission occurs when there is good faith reason to believe the person is substance abuse impaired, and because of such impairment, the person has (a) lost the power of self control with respect to substance use, and either (b) has inflicted or attempted/threatened to inflict, or, unless admitted for treatment, is likely to inflict, physical harm to him/herself or another; or (c) the persons judgment has been so impaired because of substance abuse that he/she is incapable of appreciating the need for substance abuse services and to make a rational decision regarding substance abuse services.
