The so-called "72 hour hold" is FALSE. They can only hold you 48 hours maximum. There is no 72 hour hold in Georgia. If you are imprisoned in Peachford Hospital, you need to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the nearest probate or superior court. I am founder of the Medical Civil Liberties Project, a group which promotes and defends the civil, human, and legal rights of people who are suspected of, accused of, or labeled with "mental illness."
