A person who by medical examination is found to be incapacitated by alcohol at the time of his admission or to have become incapacitated at any time after his admission, may not be detained at the facility (a) once he is no longer incapacitated by alcohol, and (b) if he remains incapacitated by alcohol for more than forty-eight hours after admission as a patient, unless he is committed pursuant to RCW 70.96A.140 or 70.96A.130. A person may consent to remain in the facility as long as the physician in charge believes appropriate. (Ord. 359 §4, 1974).
