Section 25-03.1-05 - Discharge of voluntary patients

Any voluntary patient who has recovered, or whose treatment the superintendent or director determines is no longer advisable, must be discharged. If, upon discharge, it is determined that the individual would benefit from the receipt of further treatment, the superintendent or director shall offer the individual appropriate treatment on a voluntary basis or shall aid the individual to obtain treatment from another source on a voluntary basis. With the patient's consent, appropriate referrals may be made for the patient.
