Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

405 ILCS 5/3-757 new

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities Code. Provides that upon a petition filed by a family or household member, peace officer, or the court on its own motion and after a hearing, the court may order a person, who is a person subject to involuntary admission on an outpatient basis and for whom involuntary admission is based on the person exhibiting signs of addiction, to an outpatient treatment program that is a designated program licensed under the Alcoholism and Other Drug Abuse and Dependency Act in the county of the person's residence or in the nearest county of his or her residence, if a designated program is not available in his or her county of residence. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Code to the contrary, if taking medication is included in the person's plan of outpatient treatment, and the person's compliance with taking the medication is of concern to the physician prescribing the medication, the physician may order that the medication be administered by a periodic depot dosage in accordance with rules adopted by the Department of Human Services. In the event of noncompliance of the person with taking the depot dosage of the medication, the physician shall inform: (1) the court, which may impose any sanctions which may have been waived as a result of the person's participation in outpatient treatment; and (2) the designated program for an assessment to determine what mental health services are appropriate to treat the person's addiction and where those services may be provided. Provides that the person shall be afforded the protections and procedures provided for in the Code. Provides that the period of involuntary admission based on addiction shall not exceed 90 days unless the person is subject to involuntary admission based on other factors described in the Code.
