Untreated mental illness, whether it be depression, psychosis, mania, or another, can have devastating outcomes on the person afflicted with the disorder as well as those closely connected. Suicide, assault, financial ruin, violence, victimization, destruction of families, and isolation are just some of those outcomes. Because insight to the illness is often absent, involuntary commitment may be the only way to avoid these situations.

​

Arizona has a process through which a person may be involuntarily committed. Although Arizona has a fairly straightforward civil commitment process, navigating through it can be difficult. This is especially so when the person needing to execute the process must also manage the anxiety, confusion, possible danger and heartbreak associated with involuntary commitment. 

​

The firm is dedicated to helping the family manage the crisis and effectively walk through the commitment process. If the family needs help drafting the "petition" paperwork, the firm is there to help. While the loved one is in the process, we help coordinate the care by connecting our network of psychiatric professionals.

You don't have to navigate this burdensome process alone.
