The Marchman Act

Specific to Florida, Florida Statute 397, also known as the “Marchman Act,” is a legislative act that provides confidential, a court ordered, assessment, stabilization, and treatment for individuals struggling with substance abuse.

How the Marchman Act Works

The Florida Marchman Act is a legal intervention process that can compel a substance abuser to get court ordered and monitored Assessment, Stabilization and long-term Treatment for their drug or alcohol addiction. The process begins by filing a Petition and Request for Assessment and Stabilization. The Petition and Request for Assessment and Stabilization, as well as other necessary forms, for those seeking to handle the court process without an attorney, can be found in the DCF Marchman Act Handbook. Also, the clerk of the court in the county where the petitioner seeks to file typically has the most current updated forms. When seeking help for a loved one in a court of law, an experienced attorney with a complete understanding of the Florida Marchman Act statute as well as the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure can and will increase your success in obtaining an assessment, stabilization, and treatment for your loved one.
