Your county should have a Community Mental Health Agency. They are the ones that are able and responsible for doing a mental health committment. They at least can let you know if he meets the criteria for a committment. A committment is usually for at least 72 hours, where he can be evaluated and started on medication. The local hospital will know who serves your county. Ones the paper work is filled out law enforcement then has the authority to pick him up. Praying that he will get the help he needs to deal with what lies ahead.
