They are sent to an adult group home to get themselves back on their feet. They won't accept those that do drugs, or those that arent working nor going to school. There is a rule like they have to leave by 8am and cant come back until 2 or 3pm. And must be in before 9 or 10pm.

@ScarletWitch So they get a place to sleep and maybe a meal? That's at least something. Yeah, I was really hoping that they had special places like this to go to, and not directly on the streets.

I heard it's illegal to let them leave without a proper home. That's what happened to me when I was in the hospital. They wouldnt allow me to leave unless I had somewhere to live.

@ScarletWitch That's good to know, that that they get at least some help, and that they aren't left all alone.

But every system is different... sadly
