If a person is admitted, involuntarily committed, or discharged from the Human Services Center, reasonable attempts shall be made to notify the person's legally appointed guardian. Upon obtaining consent to release information, reasonable attempts shall also be made to notify the person's next of kin. If the treating psychiatrist determines the person lacks the capacity to provide consent, the Human Services Center shall make reasonable attempts to notify the person's next of kin as to admission, or commitment to, or discharge from the Human Services Center, unless such notification is determined by the treating psychiatrist, with the input of the person's treatment team, to be detrimental to the person.
