There isn't a more humane model. If you're forcing people into an institution you're also going to be forcign them to take medication and if you're not very careful there's a bunch of other restrictive practice and other bad stuff that happens. The main ones would be use of rapid tranquilisation, use of prone restraint and supine restraint, and sexual assualt from staff and other patients.

A better model would be correctly funded assertive outreach teams.

All true, but I guess I mean a ‘better’ model not at the expense of the perfect model.

Can you tell me more about assertive outreach teams?
