Civil Commitment is a legal process for a probate court to order a person into treatment for their mental illness. It is sometimes also called “court ordered treatment,” “involuntary commitment,” or even “being probated.” This treatment can be in a hospital (“inpatient treatment”) or in the community (“outpatient treatment”).
