They need to get a court order to force you, they won't tell you that and they will make threats of injection hoping that scares you into compliance but the law is they need a court order.
They won't tell you due process of law must be followed in order to forcibly medicate an individual against his will. Now you know.
It's your body, involuntary drugs are a rape of it.
The case of Rennie v. Klein established that an involuntarily committed individual has a constitutional right to refuse psychotropic medication without a court order. Rogers v. Okin established the patient's right to make treatment decisions.
An involuntarily committed patient who has not been found incompetent, barring an emergency, has a qualified right to refuse psychotropic medication, especially when forced treatment violates his First Amendment rights to freedom of speech or to practice his religion, or his Eighth Amendment rights to be free of cruel and unusual punishment.

Just start doing the research and consider a mindfreedom shield . Members of MindFreedom International use mutual support to protect one another from unwanted coerced psychiatric procedures. Current MindFreedom members may register for the MindFreedom Shield for free. Then if a member with a Shield is threatened with coerced psychiatry, that member can instantly activate a public alert system.

Involuntary hospitalization or commitment is a violation of civil rights under U.S. Code, Title 42, Chapter 21 § 1983, Civil action for deprivation of rights. Lawsuits for involuntary commitment have resulted in verdicts of $1 million or more against hospitals, doctors and other agencies and personnel:
Lund vs. Northwest Medical Center, (Case No. Civ. 1805-95, Court of Common Pleas, Venango County, PA, June 16, 2003), jury awarded $1,100,000 million in damages.

Also Insurance companies don't like to pay, maybe call and alert them to fraud.

P.S Hospitals tend to treat patients that know there rights and the truth about psychiatry much better.
Do you have any information on how to file a civil case without a lawyer in Georgia.
