UPDATE: It took some digging through the case law, but I found it.
Colorado law already provides for outpatient treatment orders for those found incompetent to stand trial,[i] as well as for involuntary civil commitment.[ii]
[i]
Colo. Rev. Stats. § 16-8.5-111(a) (2008) (“As a
condition of bond, the court may require the defendant to obtain any treatment
or habilitation services that are available to the defendant, such as inpatient
or outpatient treatment at a community mental health center or in any other
appropriate treatment setting, as determined by the court.”)
[ii]
Colo. Rev. Stats. § 27-65-107 (2010) (“The
respondent for short-term treatment or his or her attorney may at any time file
a written request that the certification for short-term treatment or the
treatment be reviewed by the court or that the treatment be on an outpatient
basis.”)
