§43A-5-513.
   
   A. Within ten (10) days after the admission of a child for inpatient
   mental health treatment, whether through a voluntary admission or an
   order of commitment pursuant to Section 5-512 of this title, the
   person in charge of the facility in which the child is being treated
   shall ensure that an individualized treatment plan has been prepared
   by the person responsible for the child's treatment. The child shall
   be involved in the preparation of the treatment plan to the maximum
   extent consistent with his ability to understand and participate. The
   parent of the child or, if the child is in the custody of the
   Department of Human Services or the Office of Juvenile Affairs, the
   designated representative of the Department or Office, as applicable,
   shall be involved to the maximum extent consistent with the treatment
   needs of the child.
   
   B. The child shall be discharged from the facility when he no longer
   meets the admission or commitment criteria, as determined by
   appropriate hospital medical staff review after such persons have
   examined the child and reviewed reports submitted by members of the
   facility staff familiar with the child's condition. If not previously
   discharged, a child committed by a court to inpatient mental health
   treatment shall be discharged upon the expiration of a court order
   committing the child for inpatient treatment or an order of the court
   directing the discharge of the child.
   
   C. Prior to the discharge of the child from inpatient treatment, a
   discharge plan for the child shall be prepared and explained to the
   child and the parent of the child, or, if the child is in the custody
   of the Department of Human Services or the Office of Juvenile Affairs,
   a designated representative of the Department or Office, as
   applicable. The plan shall include but not be limited to:
   
   1. The services required by the child in the community to meet his
   needs for treatment, education, housing and physical care and safety;
   and
   
   2. Identification of the public or private agencies that will be
   involved in providing treatment and support to the child.
   
   D. If the child is a ward of the court and is in the legal custody of
   the Department of Human Services, the Office of Juvenile Affairs or a
   private child care agency, or under the supervision of the Department,
   a statutorily constituted juvenile bureau or Office, as applicable,
   copies of the treatment and discharge plans shall be sent to the
   person at the Department of Human Services or other applicable person
   responsible for the supervision of the case.
