The Alaska Petition for 90-Day Commitment is a legal document that can be used to have an individual committed to a mental health facility for up to 90 days. This petition is commonly used when an individual is exhibiting signs of mental illness or is potentially a danger to themselves or others. The petition must be filed in the superior court in the county where the individual resides. It must be signed by two witnesses and include a statement from a mental health professional who has evaluated the individual. Depending on the situation, the judge may order a hearing to determine if the petition should be granted. There are two types of Alaska Petition for 90-Day Commitment: an emergency petition and a non-emergency petition. An emergency petition can be filed if the individual is an immediate danger to themselves or others. A non-emergency petition can be filed if the individual is exhibiting signs of mental illness but is not an immediate danger.
