不列颠哥伦比亚省更新了医生可何时为精神健康和药物使用提供非自愿治疗的准则。 British Columbia updates guidelines for when doctors can provide involuntary treatment for mental health and substance use.

不列颠哥伦比亚省为医生发布了新的指南,说明在何种情况下可以对有吸毒和精神障碍的成年人使用非自愿治疗。 British Columbia has issued new guidance for doctors on when involuntary treatment can be used for adults with substance use and mental health disorders. 该指南澄清说,非自愿护理不是为了控制与精神障碍无关的冒险行为。 The guidance clarifies that involuntary care is not for controlling risk-taking behavior unrelated to mental impairment. 相反,它旨在帮助临床医生确定何时有必要采取此类干预措施来拯救生命和治疗损伤。 Instead, it aims to help clinicians identify when such intervention is necessary to save lives and treat impairments. 这项指导并不改变该省的《精神卫生法》,而是力求改善对弱势病人的护理,同时不改变他们的权利。 This guidance does not change the province's Mental Health Act but seeks to improve care for vulnerable patients without altering their rights.
