In Seminole County, Florida, you will file a Marchman Act petition with the Seminole County Court Clerk’s Office. As the petitioner, you will need to file requests for involuntary assessment and involuntary addiction treatment. Be prepared to provide evidence, attend court hearings, and pay required fees.

If the Court grants your petition, and neither you or the individual has the means to afford licensed treatment, there may be options to attend state-funded rehabs in Florida, but without the ability to pay for involuntary addiction treatment, your petition may be denied.

The Seminole County Court Clerk’s Office will provide packets to file for the Marchman Act in Florida for adults and minors. These will include, at a minimum:

• The Petition for Involuntary Assessment and Stabilization
• An optional Chapter 397 Ex-Parte (emergency) Petition for Involuntary Assessment and Stabilization
• The Chapter 397 Petition for Involuntary Treatment
