Emergency hospitalization is the power of states to detain a person in an emergency situation for a limited time until further evaluation and court proceedings can occur. Emergency hospitalization is usually for a short period only, typically 48 to 72 hours, and allows the need for longer inpatient treatment to be assessed.
