YOUR RIGHTS IN A FLORIDA MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY
An individual experiencing a mental health crisis can be admitted to a mental health facility. At the point of admission, the patient should be informed of his or her rights and should be able to ask questions and receive answers about those rights. Under federal law and Florida’s Mental Health Act, your rights are protected as follows:
RIGHT TO INDIVIDUAL DIGNITY:
You are to be treated with dignity and respect at all times.
RIGHT TO COMMUNICATE:
You may talk with people you choose by local telephone or in person, unless determined to be harmful to you or others.
RIGHT TO QUALIFIED TREATMENT:
You are to receive treatment and services based upon your needs; and you are expected to participate in your treatment plan.
RIGHT TO BE SAFE:
You are to be free of restraint, seclusion, isolation, or emergency treatment orders. Laws prohibit neglect or abuse of persons in a facility; however, certain rights can be restricted by your doctor for safety reasons.
RIGHT TO POSSESS CLOTHING & PERSONAL EFFECTS
RIGHT TO RELEASE OR DISCHARGE:
You may request at any time, if you are on voluntary status. You will be released within 24-hours from community-based, receiving facility (or three days from a state facility), unless a petition is filed with the court to hold you for an involuntary placement hearing.
RIGHT TO EXPRESS AND INFORMED CONSENT:
You must be given the following information before you are asked to give consent to treatment: the reason for your admission, your proposed treatment and its purpose, common side-effects of your treatment and alternatives and the approximate length of care.
RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY & REPRESENTATIVE:
You will have an attorney appointed to represent you if you are placed at a facility on involuntary basis. Most often this is a Public Defender.
RIGHT TO PRIVACY & CONFIDENTIALITY:
You will have privacy when talking with your doctor, team members and visitors whenever possible. Your treatment record is kept private except from your guardian, your attorney, certain state agencies, your parent or next-of-kin (limited information), or because of a court order or if you threaten to harm someone.
RIGHT TO VOTE
COMPLAINTS & GRIEVANCES:
You can make a verbal or written complaint if you feel you or others are not treated fairly.
