A person can be involuntarily committed for psychiatric treatment in Washington, DC when a psychiatrist, qualified physician, or qualified psychologist has examined the person and has determined that the person has a mental illness which makes them a danger to themself or others, and that hospitalization is the least restrictive setting that meets the person’s needs.
or
A sworn written statement is provided to the court by a petitioner that:
(A) good reason exists to believe that the person is mentally ill + because of the illness is likely to injure him-/herself or other persons if not committed; and
(B) the person has refused to submit to examination by a physician or qualified psychologist.
If the person is an adult, the patient must authorize the Department to serve notice to their spouse, domestic partner, or legal guardian as long as the notice is consistent with the District of Columbia Mental Health Information Act of 1978 D.C. Code §7-1201-0.1.
Patients cannot be detained for more than 48 hours, unless the chief officer of the department files a written petition w/ the court for emergency observation + diagnosis of the patient, in which case, the patient’s detention cannot exceed seven days from the time the order is entered.
Patients are entitled to a complete record of their treatment as a patient.
