A. All inpatient and outpatient treatment plans prepared for clients according to A.R.S. §§ 36-533, 36-540 and 36-540.01, and any modifications to the treatment plans, shall be developed and implemented according to the individual service planning procedures in Article 3 of this Chapter, including the right of the client to request different services and to appeal the treatment plan.

B.
