Identify and briefly describe the three forms of outpatient civil commitment.

What will be an ideal response?


Conditional release means that if individuals fail to meet the conditions of their release, they are subject to being returned to the institution. In the least restrictive alternative, individuals are given an alternative mandatory treatment status in the community, rather than being institutionalized. Persons who would not qualify under the dangerousness standard but who are considered to need treatment to prevent further deterioration are assigned to preventive commitment.
