Civil Commitment Criteria Clarified: Substance Abuse and Antisocial Personality Disorder Excluded. In re D.M.S, 203 P.3d 776 (Mont. 2009), decided by the Montana Supreme Court on February 18, 2009, was an appeal from an order of the District Court of the Twenty-First Judicial District, Ravalli County, committing D.M.S. to the Montana State Hospital (MSH). The supreme court concluded that the evidence must clearly demonstrate a connection between imminent threat of injury and a recognized mental disorder, “as opposed to alcoholism or antisocial behavior” (D.M.S., p 780).
