[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 621827, member: 14865"] Unfortunately, the laws here are not friendly to involuntary commitment. The P-hospital evaluated her Tuesday and found her "not to be a danger to herself" (how wonderful that they are psychic). Our insurance approved only four days of the partial hospitalization therapy, and she has been compliant with the program. Because she has been cooperative & compliant and they now feel it is in her best interest to not participate further, there is very little we can do. Even if someone gets a judge's ruling, the hospital can only hold them 72 more hours if they are not deemed to be still suicidal. So I guess our next best thing is to go with outpatient therapy with the doctor she has used here for years and really, really likes and relates to. He will work her in next week. She is already trying to secure a part-time job and I am helping her find a place to live. I don't mind giving her emotional support because it would be to our definite advantage if she could be happy in a new situation, even for a while. One day at a time... [/QUOTE]
