When a loved one refuses help, Florida's Marchman Act allows families to petition for court-ordered assessment and treatment.
How It Works
Families file a petition in Miami-Dade courts. If approved, their loved one receives mandated treatment - often the wake-up call needed for recovery.
A Bridge to Recovery
The Marchman Act works best combined with compassionate support. It offers hope when voluntary treatment has failed.
