To identify the clinical reasons and legal authority for including a residential placement condition in a community treatment order (CTO).
We describe the clinical reasons for imposing a residence condition and discuss how this is authorized by the laws of the Canadian provinces (using Ontario as the main example).
A residence condition can facilitate numerous benefits, including: regular access to a person by a clinical team; continuing therapeutic relations; supervision of medication; provision of general medical care; and reduction in substance use, risks of victimization, and other unintended harm. A resident condition can be lawfully imposed when it clearly fits the purposes of the CTO legislation and stops short of authorizing detention in a community facility.
In certain circumstances, a residence condition is clinically justified and a lawful aspect of a CTO.
确定在社区治疗令(CTO)中纳入居住安置条件的临床原因和法律依据。
我们描述了施加居住条件的临床原因,并讨论了加拿大各省法律如何对此予以授权(主要以安大略省为例)。
居住条件可带来诸多益处,包括:临床团队能够定期探访某人;维持治疗关系;监督药物治疗;提供常规医疗护理;以及减少药物使用、受害风险和其他意外伤害。当居住条件明显符合CTO立法目的且未达到授权在社区设施中拘留的程度时,可合法施加该条件。
在某些情况下,居住条件在临床上是合理的,并且是CTO的合法组成部分。
