Abuse of commitment laws

The Treatment Advocacy Center advocates for strong treatment laws – and protections. Our Model Law includes numerous overlapping protections to safeguard those under court-ordered treatment and to ensure that only those for whom it is appropriate are placed or remain in assisted treatment.

It should be extremely difficult to abuse such laws, and we are pleased when people trying to do so are caught and punished.
