LPS holds are 72hr. It's the only situation where you can be detained against your will. Unfortunately, many seriously ill people can not get the psychiatric help they need because of how difficult it is to forcibly medicate(in CA, at least) or keep a person beyond 72hr if they improve slightly. IMHO, the system errors too much on the side of caution when it comes to psychiatric holds and ignores history of repeated hospitalizations. |
