Can Florida’s Baker Act “take someone away” for drug addiction?
My cousin has an addiction problem to crack cocaine. She will not go to rehab. Can I have the local authorities come and Baker Act my cousin and have her “taken away” to get treatment for her crack addiction problem?

Call the local authorities and ask them.

If the police show up & think she is harming herself or others, they will Baker Act her.
I believe they can hold her at least 72 hours. And then, it’s up to the psychiatrist as to when she can leave. She would probably get treatment.
And with some luck– it might help.
One of the very sad things about addiction is that people don’t want the help.
You should try to get her some help. Call the police and explain the situation. It may be enough to wake her up and see that she does need help.
Good Luck!
