(1) An original certification for short-term treatment under section 27-65-107, or an extended certification under section 27-65-108, or an order for long-term care and treatment or any extension thereof shall terminate as soon as, in the opinion of the professional person in charge of treatment of the respondent, the respondent has received sufficient benefit from such treatment for him or her to leave. Whenever a certification or extended certification is terminated under this section, the professional person in charge of providing treatment shall so notify the court in writing within five days of such termination. Such professional person may also prescribe day care, night care, or any other similar mode of treatment prior to termination.

After termination, a respondent may be returned to the institution only in accordance with the provisions of this article.
