This order is used to temporarily detain or place a person in a secure facility, such as a psychiatric hospital or jail, for a limited period of time. The purpose of this order is to protect individuals from themselves or others by allowing for the temporary removal of the individual from a dangerous situation. The order is typically issued in cases involving mental illness, drug or alcohol addiction, or when a person is deemed to be a threat to themselves or others. There are two types of Alaska Order for Temporary Detention or Placement: 1. Emergency Detention Order: An emergency detention order is used to detain an individual for up to 72 hours.
