CHECK AND COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING ONLY IF THE SECTION APPLIES TO THIS CASE:
7. I believe that the PERSON is substance abuse impaired (defined in F.S. 397.311(18) as a condition
involving the use of alcoholic beverages or any psychoactive or mood-altering substance in such a manner
as to induce mental, emotional, or physical problems and cause socially dysfunctional behavior) or has a
co-occurring mental health disorder. If checked, explain why (i.e., observation, related knowledge, etc.).
8. I believe that because of such impairment or disorder, the PERSON has lost the power of self-control
with respect to substance abuse. If checked, explain why (i.e. observation, related knowledge, etc.).
9. I believe the PERSON is in need of substance abuse services by reason of substance abuse impairment
and he or she is incapable of appreciating his or her need for services and of making a rational decision in
that regard (a mere refusal to receive services is not enough to constitute lack of judgment). If checked,
explain why (i.e. observation, related knowledge, etc.).
10. I believe that without care or treatment, he or she is likely to suffer from neglect or refuse to care for
himself or herself and that such neglect or refusal poses a real and present threat of substantial harm to
his or her well-being. If checked, explain why (i.e., observation, related knowledge, etc.).
11. I do not believe that such harm may be avoided through the help of willing family members or friends
or the provision of other services. If checked, explain why (i.e., observation, related knowledge, etc.).
