Husband Being Held At Inpatient Psych Facility

So my husband made a doctor's appt yesterday to get back on antidepressants. He told his MD that he was severely depressed and took a questionnaire. He scored high and it triggered them to send him emergency to an inpatient behavioral health facility. I am trying to understand his rights.

I just got off the phone with the social worker and asked if it was court ordered treatment or court ordered eval and she said it was neither. There was no court order. But that he was required to stay there until the doctor deemed him no longer a danger to self. I am a nurse- I understand this protocol and fully support it. I want him home when it's safe. But I'm a little confused on the legality of how he can be held there without a court order. She said that if he tried to leave before they felt he was ready then they would petition him.

Also their visitation is horrendous- Tuesday Thursday and Sunday from 6pm to 650 pm. That's freaking it.
