   (E)   A person may not be detained at the approved treatment facility when the person either is no longer unconscious, or no longer appears likely to be of harm to self or others. If the person remains unconscious or likely to harm himself or herself or others, the person may be detained for no more than 12 hours, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after admission unless a petition for an order directing the commitment of the person to an approved treatment facility has been filed according to the mental health law provisions and procedures for commitment. The person may consent to remain in the facility as long as the administrator or physician in charge believes appropriate.
