Statute overview

About this statute

This part states that sections 1 and 2 have been repealed. The wellbeing services county must arrange involuntary care in its area as part of specialized healthcare. State mental hospitals may admit certain mentally ill or other mentally disordered persons on request and under specified conditions, and they may provide opioid medicines for detox or substitution treatment. The hospital must also have a responsible doctor, staff, and suitable premises. This section points to other laws for state mental hospitals and says this law also applies, as relevant, to certain psychiatric care and private mental health services. Involuntary psychiatric inpatient care may be decided only if the stated mental-health conditions are met, and minors have special rules for treatment and separation from adults.
