How do i get My wife out of the hospital?

Under §17a-502, a person may be confined for up to 15 days without a court order, pursuant to a physician's emergency certificate. The physician must have concluded that the person has psychiatric disabilities and is a danger to himself or others or gravely disabled, and needs immediate care and treatment in a hospital for psychiatric disabilities. (CGS § 17a-502(a)). If a written application for commitment has been filed in probate court prior to the expiration of the 15 days, the emergency commitment may be continued for an additional 15 days or until completion of probate proceedings, whichever is sooner (CGS § 17a-502(a)). Any person admitted on an emergency basis must be examined by a psychiatrist within 24 hours of admission. If the psychiatrist determines that the person does not meet the criteria for emergency detention and treatment, he must be released (CGS § 17a-502(b)). Any person detained on an emergency basis must be promptly informed of his right to (1) consult an attorney; (2) have an attorney appointed if he is indigent; and (3) have a hearing (CGS § 17a-502(c)). This hearing must be held within 72 hours of receipt of the person's written request, excluding weekends and holidays. The hearing will be before the probate court with commitment jurisdiction. At the hearing, the court must determine whether there is probable cause to conclude that the person is subject to involuntary confinement under this section and that continued treatment is advisable. If the court finds probable cause, detention will be continued until the completion of commitment proceedings under § 17a-498, or the expiration of 30 days from the beginning of detention, whichever occurs first (CGS § 17a-502(d)).
