The recommendation shall include, but not be limited to, the child's eligibility for probation, placement in community residential treatment, or commitment with the Office of Juvenile Affairs.B. If the recommendation is for probation, an individual treatment and service plan shall be provided to the court and counsel for the parties at the same time as the recommendation provided for in subsection A of this section. If the recommendation is for custody with the Office of Juvenile Affairs or is court-ordered placement in other residential treatment, the individual treatment and service plan shall be provided to the court and counsel for the parties within thirty (30) days after disposition. The plan shall be prepared by the person, department or agency responsible for the supervision of the case or by the legal custodian if the child has been removed from the custody of his or her lawful parent or parents. The treatment and service plan shall be based on a comprehensive assessment and evaluation of the child and family that identifies the priority needs of the child for rehabilitation and treatment and identifies any needs of the parent or legal guardian of the child for services that would improve their ability to provide adequate support, guidance, and supervision of the child. This process should take into account the detention risk assessment decision, the intake preliminary assessment, any comprehensive assessment for substance abuse treatment services, behavioral health services, intellectual disabilities, literary services, and other educational and treatment services as components. The completed assessment process shall result in an individual treatment and service plan which shall include, but not be limited to:
1. A history of the child and family, including identification of the problems leading to the adjudication;2. The eligibility of the child for disposition of probation, placement in community residential treatment, commitment with the Office of Juvenile Affairs and, if appropriate, assignment of a residential commitment level;3.

Performance criteria that will measure the progress of the child and family toward completion of the treatment and service plan;6. A projected date for the completion of the treatment and service plan; and7. The name and business address of the attorney representing the child, if any.C. The Office of Juvenile Affairs shall identify the appropriate risk and needs assessment instruments used to develop the recommendations of the individualized treatment and service plan. The juvenile probation counselor shall be responsible for making informed decisions and recommendations to other agencies, the district attorney, and the courts so that the child and family of the child may receive the least restrictive service alternative throughout the court process.D. The individual treatment and service plan shall be amended as necessary and appropriate to reflect the disposition of the court. The amended plan shall be filed with the court within thirty (30) days of the order of disposition removing the child from the home and shall state: 1. The reasons for such placement and a statement as to the unavailability or inappropriateness of local placement, or other good cause, for any placement more than fifty (50) miles from the home of the child;2. The services to be provided to the child while in such placement and the projected date of discharge;3. The services necessary to assist the child to reintegrate with the family of the child or other community-based placement; and4. If the child is age sixteen (16) or older, the services necessary to make the transition from community placement to independent living.E. Whenever a child who is subject to the provisions of this section is committed for inpatient mental health or substance abuse treatment pursuant to the Inpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment of Minors Act, the individual treatment and service plan shall be amended as necessary and appropriate, including but not limited to identification of the treatment and services to be provided to the child and his family upon discharge of the child from inpatient mental health or substance abuse treatment.Okla.
