(405 ILCS 5/3-510) (from Ch. 91 1/2, par. 3-510)
Sec. 3-510.
(a) The court shall disapprove the admission and order the
minor discharged if it determines that the minor does not have a mental
illness or an emotional disturbance of such a severity that hospitalization
is necessary, or if it determines that he cannot benefit from inpatient
treatment, or if it determines that a
less restrictive alternative is appropriate. If any of these 3
conditions is met, the court shall order the minor discharged
from hospitalization.
(b) If, however, the court finds that the minor does have a mental
illness or an emotional disturbance for which the minor is likely to
benefit from hospitalization, but that a less restrictive alternative is
appropriate, the court may order alternative treatment pursuant to Section 3-812.
(c) Unless the
court orders the
discharge of the minor, the court shall authorize the continued hospitalization
of the minor for the remainder of the admission period or may make such
orders as it deems appropriate pursuant to Section 3-815. When the court
has authorized continued hospitalization, no new objection to the hospitalization
of the minor may be heard for 20 days without leave of the court.
