Mental health laws regarding involuntary commitment are under pressure for reform in many states. One popular proposal is to use direct involuntary commitment to outpatient treatment without initial hospitalization or preventive detention. This article reviews the empirical evidence concerning this approach, and discusses administrative and policy implications for community mental health agencies that will bear the burden of such reform
