My aunt was just put on a 72 hr hold

She's always been the black sheep of the family, and I guess it's time for us to take care of her rather than the other way around. DTS, DTO.

What does DTS, DTO mean? (Sorry about the stress you, your aunt, and the rest of your family are going through)

DTS = Danger to Self

DTO = Danger to Others

The only reasons you can put someone on a hold against their will is if they are DTS, DTO, or GD which means Gravely Disabled (unable to take care of their ADLs due to a psych problem)
