R.S. 28:72

Application for additional periods of treatment ACTIVE

A. The court order for outpatient treatment shall expire at the end of the specified period unless a petition for an extension has been filed. If any person or entity authorized within R.S. 28:67 determines that a respondent requires further involuntary outpatient treatment, he shall file a petition for continued treatment prior to the expiration of the involuntary outpatient treatment ordered by the court. If a respondent has been ordered to receive outpatient treatment for four consecutive six-month to one-year periods, the period of any subsequent order may exceed one year but shall not exceed two years.

B. The procedure for obtaining an extension shall be the same as for obtaining the original order. However, the time periods provided in R.S. 28:66(A)(4) shall not be applicable in determining the appropriateness of the extension.
