What is the Marchman Act?

The Marchman Act is a process—a legal procedure—that allows friends and family to petition the court on behalf of somebody who has a substance abuse issue that they’re not able to control, that is affecting their life. They can ask the court to intervene and order that person to become assessed and stabilized—and hopefully treated, if it’s necessary—so that the substance abuse issue can be addressed and treated.
