Text

Any voluntary patient who has recovered, or whose treatment the superintendent or director
determines is no longer advisable, must be discharged. If, upon discharge, it is determined that
the individual would benefit from the receipt of further treatment, the superintendent or director
shall offer the individual appropriate treatment on a voluntary basis or shall aid the individual to
obtain treatment from another source on a voluntary basis. With the patient's consent,
appropriate referrals may be made for the patient.
