It is rare for anyone to be permanently committed these days, unless the person has been found guilty of a violent crime that was a by-product of severe mental illness; in such cases, the judge may decide the person is a danger to the community and should not be released. As for everyone else, generally, a commitment to a mental health hospital has a beginning and an end, and often makes provisions for the person to continue receiving therapy on an outpatient basis.
