If a person has threatened to kill someone in his family, and he's put on a 72-hour hold, can the system just release him right back to his family?

This is not a question about restraining orders, tough love, or setting boundaries.

This is a question about police and mental health cases and standard procedure.

I need to know if a person who’s made credible death threats can be let out and just go right back to the home where he made the threats.
