OPINION
MANNHEIMER, Judge.
B.F.L., a minor, appeals the superior court's order committing him to the custody of the Department of Health and Social Services pursuant to AS 47.12.120(b)(1)-in other words, an order that allows the Department to place B.F.L. in a juvenile detention facility. BFL. argues that the superior court failed to adequately consider the feasibility of a disposition under either subsection 120(b)(2) or subsection 120(b)(8) of the statute-that is, a disposition that would have limited the Department to placing B.F.L. in non-detention facilities.
