What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? nevada
person attempted suicide, revived in hospital, medically cleared now by his doctor to go to LVMH for psych eval.scared not knowing his rights during this incident; Case worker stated making out a "petition so LVMH will take him because he cant just walk to its door and admit himself." Is this correct cause she wont let him see this "petition" and he's unsure what it entails. He needs to know his rights and Is this a court order petition for him to seek psych eval for a certain period of time to lock him up or does the psychiatrist and the patient determine length of stay. Thank you for your considerations.
Sincerely,
