23.1 drug overdose deaths per 100,000 residents (CDC WONDER 2022). The gap between treatment need and treatment access remains significant — SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health consistently shows that fewer than 1 in 10 people who need substance use treatment actually receive it.

Involuntary commitment law: Marchman Act — involuntary assessment and treatment
The Marchman Act — Florida's Involuntary Commitment Law
The Marchman Act (Florida Statutes Chapter 397) allows families to petition the court for assessment, stabilization, and treatment of a loved one who has lost the power of self-control due to substance use. The process involves six stages: (1) a petition filed in the county where the person resides, (2) ex parte order for involuntary assessment, (3) 5-day assessment and stabilization, (4) treatment petition, (5) up to 90 days of court-ordered treatment, and (6) renewal hearings if needed. Petitioners must be family, three unrelated adults with direct knowledge, or a licensed physician. This process is complex — consult a Florida attorney familiar with the Act or call (888) 368-3288 for guidance on practical next steps while the legal process unfolds.
