Petition For Involuntary Substance Abuse Assessment And Stabilization (Marchman Act)

PETITION FOR INVOLUNTARY SUBSTANCE ABUSE ASSESSMENT AND STABILIZATION. This form is used to request a court order to assess and, if necessary, stabilize an individual believed to be impaired by substance abuse. This form allows the petitioner to provide sworn testimony regarding the individual’s substance abuse issues and the need for involuntary intervention. It includes details about the individual's behavior, impairment, and potential danger to themselves or others due to substance abuse. If granted, the court can order law enforcement to take the individual to a licensed substance abuse facility for assessment and stabilization without their consent. This form is typically filed by a family member, legal guardian, or another concerned person to address situations where voluntary treatment has been refused or where the individual is unable to seek treatment on their own due to impairment. www.FormsWorkflow.com
