A. The court may modify an order for involuntary inpatient

commitment and order alternative treatment pursuant to the

provisions of this section upon request of the person committed or

involuntarily committed for inpatient treatment. The court shall

give notice to the person affected thereby and to each individual

not be made. The notice shall contain the following information:

treatment to hospitalization is not complying with the previous

order, or that the alternative treatment program has not been

sufficient to prevent harm or injury to the person or others, or the

person committed for inpatient care and treatment is eligible for

discharge and that an evaluation conducted prior to discharge

determined that an order for alternative treatment is necessary in

order to prevent impairment or injury to the person;

condition is based and a copy of any written findings entered by the

court;

3. Notice of the time and place of the show cause hearing;

4. Notice of the types of modifications that the court can make

pursuant to this hearing;

witnesses, and to call witnesses in such person's own defense.

defined by Section 1-103 of this title if the person meets the

conditions for assisted outpatient treatment provided by this title.
