(a) Reexamination and Review. Every person who is in treatment under this act shall be examined by a treatment team and his treatment plan reviewed not less than once in every 30 days.

(b) Redisposition. On the basis of reexamination and review, the treatment team may either authorize continuation of the existing treatment plan if appropriate, formulate a new individualized treatment plan, or recommend to the director the discharge of the person. A person shall not remain in treatment or under any particular mode of treatment for longer than such treatment is necessary and appropriate to his needs.

(c) Record of Reexamination and Review. The treatment team responsible for the treatment plan shall maintain a record of each reexamination and review under this section for each person in treatment to include:

(1) a report of the reexamination, including a diagnosis and prognosis;

(2) a brief description of the treatment provided to the person during the period preceding the reexamination and the results of that treatment;

(3) a statement of the reason for discharge or for continued treatment;

(4) an individualized treatment plan for the next period, if any;

(5) a statement of the reasons that such treatment plan imposes the least restrictive alternative consistent with adequate treatment of his condition; and

(6) a certification that the adequate treatment recommended is available and will be afforded in the treatment program.
