Oklahoma Statutes - Title 43A. Mental Health Page 178
A. Within ten (10) days after the admission of a minor for
inpatient treatment, the person in charge of the facility in which
the minor is being treated shall ensure that an individualized
treatment plan has been prepared by the person responsible for the
treatment of the minor. The minor shall be involved in the
preparation of the treatment plan to the maximum extent consistent
with the ability of the minor to understand and participate. The
parent or legal custodian of the minor or, if the minor is in the
custody of the Department of Human Services or the Office of
Juvenile Affairs, the designated representative of the applicable
agency, shall be involved to the maximum extent consistent with the
treatment needs of the minor.
B. The facility shall discharge the minor when appropriate
facility medical staff determine the minor no longer meets the
admission or commitment criteria. If not previously discharged, a
minor committed by a court for inpatient treatment shall be
discharged upon the expiration of a court order committing the minor
for inpatient treatment or an order of the court directing the
discharge of the minor.
C. Prior to the discharge of the minor from inpatient
treatment, a discharge plan for the minor shall be prepared and
explained to the minor and the parent or the person responsible for
the supervision of the case. The plan shall include but not be
limited to:
1. The services required by the minor in the community to meet
the needs of the minor for treatment, education, housing, and
physical care and safety;
2. Identification of the public or private agencies that will
be involved in providing treatment and support to the minor;
3. Information regarding medication which should be prescribed
to the minor; and
4. An appointment for follow-up outpatient treatment and
medication management.

designee of the facility shall inform the parent or person
responsible for the supervision of the case of the importance of
disclosing the mental health needs of the minor to the minor's
resident school district as provided for in Section 1 of this act
including disclosure in whole or in part of the minor's discharge
