The Connecticut Petition for Termination of Involuntary Commitment/Alcohol and/or Drug Dependency (New 4/17) is a legal document used by individuals who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility or alcohol and/or drug dependence treatment program in the state of Connecticut. The petition is used to request termination of the involuntary commitment or treatment program and to regain personal autonomy and freedom. There are two types of petitions available: one for a commitment order and one for a treatment order. With the commitment order petition, individuals can request that the court terminate their commitment to a mental health facility or drug and/or alcohol treatment program. With the treatment order petition, individuals can request that the court terminate their order for treatment for drug and/or alcohol dependency. Both petitions require the petitioner to provide evidence, such as a doctor's evaluation, that demonstrate that they no longer require involuntary commitment or treatment.
