Massachusetts Involuntary Commitment and Drug Court Programs

Involuntary commitment law: Section 35 — involuntary commitment for substance use

Section 35 — Massachusetts' Unique Involuntary Commitment Law

Section 35 of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 123 is unique in allowing involuntary commitment specifically for substance use disorder. A family member, police officer, physician, or court official can petition the district court. If granted, the person can be committed for up to 90 days of treatment. Massachusetts operates dedicated Section 35 facilities (Men's Addiction Treatment Center in Brockton, Women's Addiction Treatment Center in New Bedford). Section 35 is a last-resort tool — most MA residents find faster, more private admission through voluntary inpatient rehab. Call (888) 368-3288 for guidance.
