     253B.066 Court-ordered early intervention; decision; 
  treatment alternatives; duration. 

    Subdivision 1.    Treatment alternatives.  If the court 
 orders early intervention under section 253B.065, subdivision 5, 
 the court may include in its order a variety of treatment 
 alternatives including, but not limited to, day treatment, 
 medication compliance monitoring, and short-term hospitalization 
 not to exceed 21 days. 

    If the court orders short-term hospitalization and the 
 proposed patient will not go voluntarily, the court may direct a 
 health officer, peace officer, or other person to take the 
 person into custody and transport the person to the hospital. 

    Subd. 2.    Findings.  The court shall find the facts 
 specifically and separately state its conclusions of law in its 
 order.  Where early intervention is ordered, the findings of 
 fact and conclusions of law shall specifically state the 
 proposed patient's conduct which is a basis for determining that 
 each of the requisites for early intervention is met.  

    The court shall also determine the nature and extent of the 
 property of the patient and of the persons who are liable for 
 the patient's care.  

    Subd. 3.    Duration.  The order for early intervention 
 shall not exceed 90 days.
