The hospital my nephew is staying at is proposing a petition for AOT.
Just looking for some more details on the process. |

Hello ConcernedAunt: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral!
 I'm not personally familiar with AOT. However here's a link to a Mental Illness Policy Org. webpage that offers a detailed description:AOT (Assisted Outpatient Treatment) Guide - Mental Illness Policy Org (Note the link at the top of the webpage to information on NY/Kendra's Law.) And then here are links to some articles (both against as well as for), from PsychCentral's archives, on the subject the first by our host Dr. John Grohol, Psy.D.: Assisted Outpatient Treatment: Let's 'Assist' Patients By Forcing Them What Does Enforcing Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) Look Like? | Don't Call Me Crazy Assisted Outpatient Treatment "AOT" and Psychiatric Hospitalization is Costly, Ineffective and Dangerous | Trauma Informed Systems I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
