[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a hospital and people like this are routinely brought in by police. Often times they’re on the medical unit until they stabilize, then sent to inpatient psych. If they don’t meet criteria for inpatient, they’re sent to a shelter when discharging, or sometimes they just give an address where they like to sleep (often times a store front, etc) and we send them there by cab. Often times we find that these people with severe presentation like you describe were in transitional housing and even had case managers, but preferred to be in the streets if off the grid, or were kicked out by landlords due to their behaviors; it can be hard to keep them stable and compliant with care. Of course, this is in the DC area, not a small town.[/quote] Or they just wander out. You can restrain them against their will. [/quote]
