Emergency treatment.
(a) An intoxicated person may come voluntarily to a treatment facility for
emergency treatment. A person who appears to be intoxicated in a public place
and who may be a danger to himself or others may be assisted to his home, a
treatment facility or other health facility either directly by the police or
through an intermediary person.
(b) A person who appears to be unconscious or in immediate need of
emergency medical services while in a public place and who shows symptoms of
impairment brought on by alcoholism or other drug abuse or dependency may be
taken into protective custody by the police and forthwith brought to an
emergency medical service. A person who is otherwise incapacitated while in a
public place and who shows symptoms of alcoholism or other drug abuse or
dependency may be taken into custody and forthwith brought to a facility
available for detoxification. The police in detaining the person shall take
him into protective custody only, which shall not constitute an arrest. No
entry or other record shall be made to indicate that the person has been
arrested or charged with a crime. The detaining officer may take reasonable
steps to protect himself from harm.
