The state of Oklahoma is violating federal law by unnecessarily committing people with mental illness and drug abuse disorders to psychiatric hospitals, the U.S. Justice Department concluded in a report released on Friday.
The U.S. Justice Department has concluded that Oklahoma's treatment of individuals with mental illnesses violates federal law, specifically the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The investigation revealed that the state's practices result in unnecessary institutionalization and inadequate community-based services, leading to prolonged stays in hospitals, jails, and nursing homes. The findings highlight that Oklahoma fails to provide sufficient support for these individuals to live independently in community settings, instead relying heavily on institutional care. This systemic issue not only infringes on the rights of those with mental illnesses but also places an undue burden on state resources. The Justice Department has called for Oklahoma to develop and implement a plan to enhance community integration and services, ensuring compliance with federal disability rights laws.
