Alaska Petition for 180 Day Involuntary Re commitment is a legal document used by mental health professionals to petition the court to involuntarily recommit a person for up to 180 days for treatment of mental illness. The petition must be filed with the court and include specific information about the individual’s mental health condition, need for treatment, and the likelihood of harm to self or others. The court will review the petition and may hold a hearing to determine if the person should be involuntarily recommitted. The two types of Alaska Petition for 180 Day Involuntary Re commitment are an Initial Petition for 180 Day Inpatient Treatment and a Renewal Petition for 180 Day Inpatient Treatment. The Initial Petition is used to initiate involuntary commitment, while the Renewal Petition is used to request an extension of involuntary commitment beyond the initial 180 days.
