Clients who fail to take medications regularly are often admitted to the hospital repeatedly, and this can become quite expensive. How do you reconcile the client’s rights (to refuse treatment or medications) with the need to curtail avoidable health care costs? What is the quality of life for the client with schizophrenia who has a minimal response to antipsychotic medications and therefore poor treatment outcomes? Clients who take depot injections of antipsychotic medications are sometimes court-ordered to comply with this treatment when they are in the community. Does this violate the client’s right to self-determination or autonomy? When should clients have the ability to refuse such medications?
