“(a) Disposition. The disposition hearing will be held immediately after the final hearing or trial provided for by Rule 4 of these Rules unless continued for good cause shown. The Court may receive evidence concerning alternative dispositions less restrictive than commitment. If the Court finds that a less restrictive disposition is appropriate and feasible, the Court shall order the release of the patient subject to appropriate conditions.”
