882. When the demand is based upon drunkenness or the abuse of narcotics, the judge or prothonotary may, whether he grants or refuses the interdiction, order confinement in an appropriate hospital. The order for confinement may be made even after the interdiction, on motion for that purpose, and on sufficient proof. The order must indicate the name of the institution, the duration of the confinement and the persons who are to carry out the order, and a certified copy must be delivered to the director of the institution.
The order for confinement may be suspended or revoked by a judge, upon motion, if it is proved that the person may, in the interests of himself and of his family, be released.
