Our Downers Grove mental health lawyers are here to make sure you know what rights mental health patients have in Illinois. In this article, we cover the major rights that mental health patients may exercise.

Our Downers Grove mental health legal team is here to help you understand what an emergency involuntary commitment entails under Illinois law.
If a mental health condition poses an immediate threat of harm, a petitioner may file a petition in an Illinois court seeking protection for themselves and/or a loved one. Based on this petition, the court may decide to enact an emergency involuntary commitment with the help of local authorities.
Our Downers Grove mental health lawyers want you to understand how to appeal a mental healthcare decision and have created the following companion article to assist you.
Briefly, you may appeal an involuntary commitment to a mental health facility or if you are denied a request in a change of mental health services that you receive. These appeals must be produced in writing to the director of the mental health facility. Such appeals will typically lead to a hearing where evidence from multiple parties will be weighed and adjudicated by the court.
