If the patient never discloses that they were suicidal, they can be released nearly immediately from the hospital after revival (especially via Naloxone). However, it depends on the hospital, as some overdose patients can be forced to stay for at least 6 hours for monitoring. Since overdoses happen all the time, they aren't going to commit everyone who takes a bottle of pills. But they are going to grill you on why you had pills in you if it's not standard illegal drugs like heroin. For patients that mention they are suicidal, it depends on the severity. If you talk about suicide or they suspect you're suicidal, they'll send a mental health professional to evaluate your suicide risk. If you present an imminent danger to yourself, you'll be given psychiatric hospitalization. Sometimes this is in the same hospital, but if the hospital does not have this ward, you're transported via ambulance to a location that does. However, suicidal thoughts alone do not warrant psychiatric hospitalization. If you have a plan and one suspects the threat is imminent (a concerned caller, etc.), you can be forcefully committed despite not consenting. This is rare. This varies from state and city. However, we do not know if the health professionals knew it was a suicide attempt, so the quick release is still up for debate. Based on the texts alone, I don't feel like they actually tried to commit suicide. Very attention whory. People don't generally kill themselves when they're pissed off like this individual seemed to be at the time of their tweeting. Any dude who shit talks this much and acts like no one cares about them when they flourish in the Twitter attention comes off as disingenuous to me. Then again, they are 21 y/o joint-smoking trans-groomed black youth. Of course they gonna act this ratchet. Either dad wasn't in the picture or their family is so well off that their family can afford this leech.
