detention not to exceed thirty days.

2. Within ninety-six hours following initial detention, the head of the
facility or the mental health coordinator may file, or cause to be filed,

the person abuses alcohol or drugs and presents a likelihood of serious
harm to himself or others as a result of alcohol or drug abuse, or both.
The court shall serve the petition and list of prospective witnesses for

(L. 1985 S.B. 265, A.L. 1996 S.B. 884 & 841)



1. The petition for thirty-day involuntary detention, treatment,
and rehabilitation shall be filed with the probate division of the
circuit court. At the time of filing the petition, the court clerk shall

judicial days of the filing of the petition. The clerk shall promptly
notify the respondent, his attorney, the petitioner and the petitioner's
attorney of the date and time for the hearing. The court shall not grant
continuances except upon a showing of good and sufficient cause. If a
continuance is granted, the court, in its discretion, may order the
person released pending the hearing upon conditions prescribed by the
court. The court may order the continued detention, treatment, and
rehabilitation of the person at an alcohol or drug abuse facility pending
the continued hearing, and a copy of such order shall be furnished to the
facility.

2. The hearing shall be conducted in as informal a manner as may be
consistent with orderly procedure and in a physical setting not likely to

present, his physical condition is such that he cannot be present in the
courtroom, or the court determines that the respondent's conduct in the
courtroom is so disruptive that the proceedings cannot reasonably
continue with him present.

4. At the conclusion of the hearing, if the court finds, based upon clear
and convincing evidence, that the respondent, as the result of alcohol or
drug abuse, or both, presents a likelihood of serious harm to himself or
to others, the court shall order that the respondent be detained for
involuntary treatment and rehabilitation in the least restrictive
environment for a period not to exceed thirty days. (L. 1985 S.B. 265,
A.L. 1996 S.B. 884 & 841)



1. Before the expiration of the thirty-day period of detention,
treatment, and rehabilitation ordered pursuant to section 631.145, the
court may order the respondent to be detained for treatment and
rehabilitation for an additional period not to exceed ninety days;
provided that:

(1) The respondent, as the result of alcohol or drug abuse, or both,
continues to present a likelihood of serious harm to himself or to
others; and

(2) The court, after a hearing, orders the respondent detained for
treatment and rehabilitation for the additional period.

2. If, within twenty-five days of the court hearing described in section
631.145, the head of the alcohol or drug abuse facility or the mental
health coordinator has reasonable cause to believe that the respondent,
as the result of alcohol or drug abuse, or both, presents a likelihood of
serious harm to himself or others, and believes that further detention
and treatment is necessary, he shall file, or cause to be filed, with the
court a petition for ninety days additional detention, treatment, and
rehabilitation. The court shall immediately set a date and time for a
hearing on the petition, which shall take place within four judicial days
of the date of the filing of the petition. The court shall serve a copy
of the petition and the notice of the date and time of the hearing upon
the petitioner, the respondent, and their attorneys as promptly as
possible, but not later than two judicial days after the filing of the
petition. The petitioner shall also file with the court, for the court to
serve upon the respondent's attorney not later than two days after the
filing of the petition, a list of the proposed witnesses for the
petitioner. The head of the alcohol or drug abuse facility shall notify
the mental health coordinator if the petition is not filed by the mental
health coordinator. The petition shall comply with the requirements of
section 631.140, and an individualized treatment and rehabilitation plan
for the respondent shall be attached thereto. (L. 1985 S.B. 265, A.L.
1996 S.B. 884 & 841)



Notwithstanding any other provision of the law to the contrary,
whenever a court orders a person detained for involuntary treatment or
rehabilitation in an alcohol or drug abuse facility operated by the
department, or such a facility affiliated and under contract with the
department to serve the service area involved, the order of detention
shall be to the custody of the director of the department, who shall
determine where detention for involuntary treatment and rehabilitation
shall take place in the least restricted environment. (L. 1985 S.B. 265)



Whenever any respondent detained involuntarily under this
chapter in an alcohol or drug abuse facility is found during the
detention period to be in need of medical care and treatment provided in
a hospital, which in the opinion of a licensed physician must be attended
to immediately, the respondent may be transferred to a hospital for care
and treatment. The hospital may perform surgery or provide medical
treatment with the respondent's consent, or without his consent under the
provisions of section 431.063, RSMo, or chapter 475, RSMo. If the
respondent's detention period has not expired at the completion of the
hospital care and treatment, then the respondent shall be returned to the
alcohol or drug abuse facility to complete the detention for treatment
and rehabilitation. The respondent may have detention periods continued
while in the hospital under the provisions of this chapter. (L. 1985 S.B.
265)



If the head of the alcohol or drug abuse facility finds that a
person who is detained for treatment and rehabilitation is presenting a
likelihood of serious harm as a result of mental disorder other than
alcohol or drug abuse, or both, the head of the facility shall arrange
for the transfer of the person to a mental health facility through a
mental health coordinator, or through a licensed physician, registered
professional nurse, qualified counselor or mental health professional
designated by the mental health facility. The person may be detained for
up to ninety-six hours for evaluation and treatment, under the procedures
of sections 632.310, 632.315, 632.320 and 632.325, RSMo, before filing a
petition for further detention under sections 632.330 and 632.335, RSMo.
(L. 1985 S.B. 265, A.L. 1989 S.B. 215 & 58, A.L. 1996 S.B. 884 & 841)



If requested to do so by the head of an alcohol or drug abuse
facility, the sheriff of the county where a client, absent without
authorization, is found shall apprehend and return him to the facility.
The head of the facility may request the return of an absent client under
this section* only when:

(1) The client is a minor whose admission was applied for by his parent
or legal custodian, who has not requested the minor client's release;

(2) The client is a minor under jurisdiction of the juvenile court;

(3) The client has been declared legally incapacitated and his guardian
has not requested his release;

(4) The client was committed to the department under chapter 552, RSMo,
or this chapter; or

(5) The client's condition is of such a nature that, for the protection
of the client, or others, the head of the facility determines that the
client's return to the facility is necessary as noted in the client's
records, in which case civil detention procedures shall be initiated upon
return to the facility. (L. 1985 S.B. 265)
