Court-ordered outpatient treatment

Referred to by various names in different states, such as "assisted outpatient treatment (AOT)," "involuntary outpatient treatment," or "mandatory outpatient treatment." 44 states including District of Columbia allow the use of court-ordered outpatient treatment as a way for individuals with severe mental illness, who are unable to voluntarily receive care, to stay in their community. Each state has its own laws regarding involuntary commitment that establish the criteria for determining when court-ordered treatment is appropriate for these individuals.
