Cincinnati residents have an option that’s not available in all states. It’s called Casey’s Law, and it allows family members to commit their loved one to rehab involuntarily.
Not everyone is a fan of this law, citing the rites of the individual, but this option has saved lives. And it can’t be invoked arbitrarily, in any circumstance. In fact, when the law was first enacted in 2012, there were so many hoops and significant cost involved that few families took advantage of it.
But the law was refined in 2021, so now it’s more user-friendly. If you’re at the end of your rope, fearing for your loved one’s life, using this law could get them the help they need.
