(1)  the person has not complied with the court's order;  or
(2)  the person's condition has deteriorated to the extent that outpatient services are no longer appropriate.

(d)  A modification may include:
(1)  incorporating in the order a revised treatment program and providing for continued outpatient health services under the modified order, if a revised general program of treatment was submitted to and accepted by the court;  or
