If a juvenile client or juvenile detainee is or | becomes 18 years of age while still under commitment or while | still detained, the statutory guardianship of the commissioner | over the juvenile client or juvenile detainee terminates, but the | juvenile client or juvenile detainee remains subject to the | control of the commissioner and staff and rules of the facility | until the expiration of the period of commitment or until release | or discharge from the facility.

If placement in a__licensed residential care | facility providing a mental health treatment program is an | appropriate alternative to psychiatric hospitalization, that | placement may be made by the commissioner with the juvenile | client's or juvenile detainee's consent. |
