An aftercare plan shall be developed cooperatively between the person, the legal guardian, if any, and if requested by the person or guardian, family members or others, the facility or program to which the person is committed or admitted, and the mental health center located in the regional district to which the person will be discharged. A copy of the plan shall be delivered to the person and the legal guardian, if any. The plan shall:
(1)Specify the services required in the community to meet the person's needs for treatment, vocation, housing, nutrition, physical care, and safety;
(2)Specify any income subsidies for which the person is eligible; and
(3)Identify local and state agencies which can provide services and support to the person.
Participation in the discharge plan shall be at the person's discretion and the person's refusal to participate may not be considered a basis for continued detention if the person is otherwise entitled to discharge.
