§334-121 Criteria for involuntary outpatient treatment. A person may be ordered to obtain involuntary outpatient treatment if the family court finds that:

(1) The person is suffering from a severe mental disorder or from substance abuse; and

(2) The person is capable of surviving safely in the community with available supervision from family, friends, or others; and

(3) The person, at some time in the past: (A) has received inpatient hospital treatment for a severe mental disorder or substance abuse, or (B) has been imminently dangerous to self or others, or is gravely disabled, as a result of a severe mental disorder or substance abuse; and

(4) The person, based on the person s treatment history and current behavior, is now in need of treatment in order to prevent a relapse or deterioration which would predictably result in the person becoming imminently dangerous to self or others; and

(5) The person s current mental status or the nature of the person s disorder limits or negates the person s ability to make an informed decision to voluntarily seek or comply with recommended treatment; and

(6) There is a reasonable prospect that the outpatient treatment ordered will be beneficial to the person. [L 1984, c 251, pt of §1; am L 1992, c 138, §2]
