I went to the ER once because I had moved to a new state, gotten new insurance and couldn't find a primary care doctor who accepted my insurance and was taking new patients. So I ran out of my prescription medication which included pain medication. So I went to the ER to see if they could help me because I was in a lot of pain. They told me they couldn't help. Then they asked me if I was going to harm myself if I left, and I told them Yes because I was in serious pain and had not been able to sleep because of it for days. So I got to stay and they actually gave me the medication I needed. It was worth being in the psych ward just for that.

quick correction: they wont give a 5150 for suicidal thoughts, theyll give it for suicidal ideation or intent. just thinking about it doesnt make you at-risk. but often patients will indicate having a plan. the plan is what gets you considered at-risk.

They also want to know if you have taken any steps towards preparing for your plan. Are you an active danger to yourself or others? Not at the moment. Also if they cannot evaluate you within the 72 hours or determine more time is needed to get you on a functional medication regimen that 72 hour 5150 (California Health Code) can become a 5250 which is a 14 day hold. If you appeal your 5250 it can be 6 days before your appeal is heard so plan on being there a week at least.

Unless of course you’re in the Bay Area. I’ve never heard of anyone being held for a full 72 hours, it’s usually less than 12. However, they’re usually back in a few days. This can go on for weeks, since there’s no long term mental health support available.

What/whose information are you basing these claims on? There are many behavioral hospitals all around the Bay Area (but due to the large population and lack of social services that help people outside of hospitals we could always use more). Unless someone is on a voluntary hold it’s 72 hours, usually it’s extended to two weeks (a 5250).

It’s the code numbers for an immediate mandatory psychiatric evaluation. If you plan on harming yourself or another person or if the another person perceives it as a threat of imminent danger, they hold you at the ER for 72 hours. If the threat is mediated through counseling and/or medication intervention, then the patient is free to go after a thorough evaluation of deescalating the situation. Sometimes it’s 12-24 hours, other times, if it’s more severe then it’s 72 hours.

Well, you can try that. But ERs have security guards, injectable sedatives, and often some pretty burly male nurses and CNA’s. So, if you become threatening, maybe they’ll let you leave. But then again, depending upon the situation, maybe not. And they can and will file assault charges against you. Usually it doesn’t get that dramatic, though. For medical, not psychiatric care: What they will require is that you sign an AMA; a statement that you are refusing medical care, and leaving Against Medical Advice. Which means that if you leave and croak, or lose your leg or something, neither you nor your family can hold the hospital or its employees liable for failing to provide medical care. Big mean drunk guys can be scary. But lawyers are scarier.

Worked in In-pt Acute Mental Care with a specialty in Addiction Medicine. If we say you stay, you stay. 20 trained hospital staff and police if needed, will help you walk to the seclusion room, remove your clothes and personal belongings, and if you decide to fight us, Mr. JABBY JAB comes out to play in your hip muscle and leaves you passed out on a mattress on the floor in a paper gown. If someone gets hurt because of your actions, you will be charged. The only way to get out is to follow the rules, say a little sorry, and you can come back out and play. If you decide you like the time in seclusion, and keep ending back there, your form becomes a two week form, then if you really like your accommodations, you get to stay for another full month. Most people "get it" and start taking meds and attending some therapy so they can get released without losing their drivers license, jobs, or family. But yeah, you keep telling people it goes your way.
