The Illinois Involuntary Commitment law allows for the placement in treatment of anyone who, because of the nature of his or her illness, is unable to understand his or her need for treatment and who, if not treated, is at risk of suffering or continuing to suffer mental deterioration or emotional deterioration, or both, to the point that the person is at risk of engaging in dangerous conduct. This can be done by family members, mental health professionals, and police officers.
