5 | (405 ILCS 5/3-811) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-811) | ||||||
6 | Sec. 3-811. Involuntary admission; alternative mental | ||||||
7 | health facilities. | ||||||
8 | (a) If any person is found subject to involuntary | ||||||
9 | admission on an inpatient basis, the court shall
consider | ||||||
10 | alternative mental health facilities which are appropriate for | ||||||
11 | and
available to the respondent, including but not limited to | ||||||
12 | hospitalization. The
court may order the respondent to undergo | ||||||
13 | a program of hospitalization in a
mental health facility | ||||||
14 | designated by the Department, in a licensed private hospital | ||||||
15 | or private
mental health facility if it agrees, or in a | ||||||
16 | facility of the United
States
Veterans Administration if it | ||||||
17 | agrees. If any person is found subject to involuntary | ||||||
18 | admission on an outpatient basis, the court may order the | ||||||
19 | respondent
to undergo a program of alternative treatment; or | ||||||
20 | the court may place the
respondent
in the care and custody of a | ||||||
21 | relative or other person willing and able to
properly care for | ||||||
22 | him or her. The court shall order the least
restrictive | ||||||
23 | alternative for treatment which is appropriate. Except as | ||||||
24 | provided in Section 104-10 of the Code of Criminal Procedure | ||||||
25 | of 1963, no respondent who has pending felony charges may be |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | ordered to undergo a program of hospitalization in a mental | ||||||
2 | health facility operated by the Department unless the | ||||||
3 | Department agrees to the program
of hospitalization. | ||||||
4 | (b) Whenever a person is found subject to involuntary | ||||||
5 | admission on an inpatient or outpatient basis, notice shall be | ||||||
6 | provided to the petitioner, orally and in writing, of his or | ||||||
7 | her right to receive notice of the recipient's discharge | ||||||
8 | pursuant to Section 3-902(d). | ||||||
9 | (c) An order that a person is found subject to involuntary | ||||||
10 | admission on an inpatient basis does not eliminate any | ||||||
11 | obligations under the federal Emergency Medical Transport and | ||||||
12 | Active Labor Act (EMTALA) of the transferring facility toward | ||||||
13 | the receiving facility. Before implementing an order, the | ||||||
14 | transferring facility shall notify the receiving facility of | ||||||
15 | the recipient and obtain medical clearance for the recipient. | ||||||
