(a) Individualized treatment plan means a plan of treatment formulated for a particular person in a program appropriate to his specific needs, including an assisted outpatient treatment plan under subsection (b). To the extent possible, the plan shall be made with the cooperation, understanding and consent of the person in treatment, and shall impose the least restrictive alternative consistent with affording the person adequate treatment for his condition.
(b) Assisted outpatient treatment plan means an individualized treatment plan developed by a qualified professional or the treatment team that is ordered by a court for involuntary outpatient civil commitment of a person. The treatment plan shall be reviewed and approved by a psychiatrist or a licensed clinical psychologist prior to submission to the court. The treatment plan shall contain the reasonable objectives and goals for a person determined to be in need of assisted outpatient treatment. In addition to the requirements of subsection (a), the treatment plan shall include:
(1) Delineation of specific assisted outpatient treatment services to be provided based on the person's specific needs.
(2) Delineation of the providers that agree to provide assisted outpatient treatment services to the person.
(3) Documentation of how the person was involved in the initial development of the treatment plan and the process for involving the person in ongoing evaluation and, if appropriate, modifications to the treatment plan.
