Substance abuse is one of the greatest challenges facing our State, schools, workplaces and families because it has destructive influences
that pervade all facets of our society. Accordingly, it is the policy of this State to provide treatment to those who abuse substances such as
alcohol, drugs or inhalants. Therefore, this chapter is designed to enable those engaged in substance abuse to receive appropriate care and
treatment. Although voluntary treatment is preferred, this chapter also provides a mechanism for involuntary treatment in suitable cases.
