                          RULE 1.4                                               
           ALTERNATIVE LESS RESTRICTIVE TREATMENT                                
                                                                                 
    (a) As an alternative to detention, where the court makes a finding or       
a special verdict is returned that the respondent should receive less            
restrictive alternative treatment, the court may order such less                 
restrictive alternative treatment for no longer than the period for which        
the respondent could have been committed at the hearing.                         
    (b) If the court orders less restrictive alternative treatment, the          
order shall specify the terms and conditions of the alternative treatment        
and a copy shall be delivered to the respondent.                                 
    (c) If the conditions of the alternative treatment are not adhered to,       
the designated mental health professional may order the respondent               
apprehended according to the procedure defined by rules 4.1 through 4.5.
