No person admitted to a facility for persons with mental retardation under the provisions of section 17a-281, shall be detained in such facility for more than seven days after he has given notice in writing, or, if such person is a minor or adult incompetent, after such notice has been given on his behalf by his parent, guardian, conservator or person having custody, to the Commissioner of Developmental Services, of his intention or desire to leave such facility. If said commissioner is of the opinion that such person is in need of further treatment or observation, he may make and file, in the probate court for the district within which such person resides, application for the involuntary placement of such person to such facility and the probate court shall proceed thereon in the same manner as is provided in section 17a-274.
