- If the person files a written request for a hearing with the committing court, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice the committing court shall hold a hearing to review the decision of the qualified mental health professional. IF AND ONLY IF the court determines that:
- The person has a mental illness or serious emotional disturbance or has a mental illness or serious emotional disturbance in remission,
- The person’s condition resulting from mental illness or serious emotional disturbance is likely to deteriorate rapidly to the point that the person will pose a likelihood of serious harm under § 33-6-501 unless treatment is continued,
- The person is not likely to participate in outpatient treatment unless legally obligated to do so, AND
- Mandatory outpatient treatment is a suitable less drastic alternative to commitment,
THEN
- the obligation to participate in outpatient treatment is renewed for six (6) months.
-
- IF, after a hearing, the court does not determine the obligation to participate in outpatient treatment to be renewed,
- THEN the person is discharged from the outpatient treatment obligation.
