Question

Jim is an addict who is also suffering from bipolar disorder. He has regularly scheduled appointments with his counselor but has missed all of them in the past week. The police locate him and take him into custody. His case will likely be heard in _______.

Answer 1

The correct answer is; A specialized court.

Further Explanation:

Since Jim is suffering from a bipolar disorder and is also an addict he will most likely be sent to an inpatient psych ward. When someone has scheduled appointments made for them and they are not going to the appointments that can be a sign that the patient is in trouble and off their medications.

The police will be called if the patient has an outpatient treatment order. The patient will be taken involuntarily into the hospital and receive treatment until the doctors or court lets them out. The court is usually on grounds of the psych treatment facility. Normally, this is done via video court and the patients are all given a lawyer, free of charge, to represent them.
