If, after the hearing, the court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person is presently suffering from a mental disease or defect as a result of which his release would create a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person or serious damage to property of another, the court shall commit the person to the Human Services Center for treatment until the person's mental condition is such that his release or conditional release under a prescribed regimen of medical, psychiatric, psychological care or treatment would not create a substantial risk of bodily injury to another person or serious damage to property of another.
