==Terminology==
In the United States the term "assisted outpatient treatment" (AOT) is often used and refers to a process whereby a judge orders a qualifying person with symptoms of severe untreated mental illness to adhere to a mental health treatment plan while living in the community. The plan typically includes medication and may include other forms of treatment as well.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mentalillnesspolicy.org/aot/assisted-outpatient-treatment-guide.html|title=AOT (Assisted Outpatient Treatment) Guide|last=Org|first=M.
