outpatient treatment.

(1) At any time during the period of an order for court-ordered assisted outpatient

treatment, the person subject to the order may move the court to stay, vacate,

or modify the order.

deletion of a category of services to or from a treatment plan.

(b) If a treating qualified mental health professional proposes a material

change to the court-ordered treatment plan, he or she shall apply to the

court for approval of the proposed change. Not later than five (5) days

after receiving the application, excluding weekends and holidays, the

waive the requirement of a new hearing. The person under order shall be

represented by an attorney in responding to the petition for an additional period

of court-ordered assisted outpatient treatment.
