If they think you're a danger to yourself or others they can have you hospitalized against your will. From what I gathered from what he told me, the family member takes part in that process. I don't really know... I wonder how many clients he's had hospitalized?
I do know that back when I told him that if he ever terminated me to have burly security guards standing by to commit me (this was years ago), he thought about it and said that he would have to call my husband and inform him of the upcoming danger. I was really miffed that my husband would know I was being offed, I mean terminated, before I would.
