How long will the commitment last and where will the committed person receive treatment?
The maximum amount of time a person can be committed is 180 days. A committed person will not necessarily have to be kept in a hospital for the length of the commitment. Under the current law, the person is committed to the Oregon State Mental Health Division, rather than to a specific hospital. This allows a variety of treatment resources, such as: Oregon State Hospital, community hospital, Veteran’s Hospital, day treatment program, residential care facility, outpatient clinic or private therapist.
