An Involuntary Mental Health commitment is the way that a Probate Court Judge can order you to have Mental Health treatment, even if you do not want treatment. Although most adults have a right to refuse medical treatment, the commitment process creates an exception. The Probate Court may order treatment if you have a Mental illness, you need treatment, and you meet the legal commitment standards.
