In all accepted claims, treatment shall be limited in point of duration as follows:

(1) No treatment shall be provided once the victim has received the maximum compensation under this chapter.

(2) In case of temporary disability, treatment shall not extend beyond the time when monthly allowances to him or her shall cease. After any injured victim has returned to his or her work, his or her medical and surgical treatment may be continued if, and so long as, such continuation is determined by the director to be necessary to his or her recovery, and as long as the victim has not received the maximum compensation under this chapter.
