3. Involuntary commitment is reserved for those individuals who are dangerous to themselves or others, or who are unable to meet their own basic needs. Making threats against family members constitute a danger to others and may support the need for involuntary commitment. The patient's history of incarceration, reports of auditory hallucinations, or the use of marijuana are not factors that support involuntary commitment.
