§ 25-5-124 — Discharge of clients by administrator or by court; appeals to department

(a) An interdisciplinary team may recommend to the
administrator discharge of a client with an appropriate
transition plan from the center when placement at home, with
another service provider or another program is appropriate for
the client's needs and abilities. The transition plan shall
identify any recommended discharge conditions in the client's
best interest, including type of residence facility, supervision
and any continuing medical, therapeutic, rehabilitative or
developmental services. Based on the recommendations of the
team, and with the consent of the client, or his parent or
guardian if he is a minor or ward, the administrator shall place
the client in the alternative setting. The administrator shall
discharge the client when the client has been appropriately
placed in an alternative program. If the client was admitted
under a court order, the administrator shall petition the court,
pursuant to W.S. 25-5-121(f).
(b) If the client, or his parent or guardian if he is a
minor or incompetent, disagrees with the decision of the
administrator and the interdisciplinary team, the client, parent
or guardian may appeal the decision to the director in writing.
The department shall provide the client, parent or guardian with
a decision in writing within thirty (30) days.
