TITLE XIV
MENTAL HEALTH PROCEEDINGS
CHAPTER 1. PRELIMINARY PROVISIONS; DEFINITIONS
Art. 1401. Purpose
The purpose of this Title is to facilitate the proper treatment of children suffering from mental illness or substance abuse. The manner of treatment should be medically appropriate, least restrictive of the child's liberty, and respectful of the child's individual rights. A preference for outpatient treatment should prevail unless the admission to a treatment facility is determined necessary for the recovery of the child from the mental illness or substance abuse.
