#Facts about #involuntary #psychiatric hold:
The #UnitedNations recognises it as a form of #torture.
It increases #suicide risk by 191 times.
It increases the risk of #dying from heart #disease and stroke by 3.5 times (no shit on that one, forcing extremely high doses of heavy drugs on someone without even titrating it does that)
45% of patients in psych wards have experienced sexual #violence during an admission.
You are a shitty #person if you try to get someone involuntarily committed.

“An accountability center is #involuntary, OK — you’re not coming in & out,” Randy Shumway, chairman of the state #Homeless Services Board, said in an interview. #Utah will end a harmful “culture of permissiveness,” he said, & guide homeless people “towards human thriving.”

In #Utah, #Trump’s Vision for #Homelessness Begins to Take Shape
The proposed site where Utah plans to place as many as 1,300 homeless people outside of Salt Lake City.
State officials promise large-scale #involuntary #addiction & #MentalHealth treatment at Salt Lake City’s edge. Critics see “a prison, or a warehouse.”

At least a third of the publicly funded #AddictionTreatment beds #BCgovernment claims are available for drug users across #BritishColumbia do not actually offer treatment, the #IJF has learned.
“B.C. now has 3,645 publicly funded substance-use treatment beds, including 659 beds opened since 2017 with more to come,” the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions announced in an Aug. 27 press release.
But a breakdown of the available types of adult and youth treatment options provided by the ministry shows that its tally includes 1,232 low-barrier housing beds, accounting for about 34 per cent of the total.
#Addictions treatment is not directly provided in low-barrier housing in B.C., but is part of “a full continuum of support services,” the ministry said in an email to the IJF. This type of facility simply makes shelter available to people who use drugs, without requiring them to abstain or be in treatment.
The news comes as both the #BCConservatives and the #BCNDP government are touting #involuntary addiction care as a solution to the province’s ongoing #ToxicDrugCrisis.
That #political focus is deeply frustrating for Correne Antrobus of #MomsStopTheHarm, an advocacy group led by families affected by tainted illegal drugs.

"A legal group representing marginalized people on Vancouver’s #DTES has issued a stern rebuke of the provincial government’s plans to force mental-health and addictions treatment on people who present a danger to themselves and others.
"Pivot Legal Society released a report... calling on BC to halt its proposed expansion of “#involuntary care” beds, arguing such treatment is an outdated approach that is harmful, degrading and often discriminatory." https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/british-columbia/article-legal-group-in-vancouvers-downtown-eastside-cautions-bc-against/

SO #Alec #Baldwin is expected to be charged with #involuntary #manslaughter - but the #parents who leave their #loaded #guns where their #kids can get to them don't get charged with anything when someone gets shot.
Make it make sense.
