I am guessing that if he goes to a tard home, he will be heavily medicated to be kept docile and under control. I am not sure if those types of facilities can keep their wards on drugs like that as a group home is not a mental hospital, but would it be too much of a stretch to assume that Chris is currently on and will be put on some sort of chemical restraint to calm him down?
In jail he can be forced to take meds if it's deemed necessary for him to be competent for court.
Once released, he cannot be forced to take his meds. Countless crazies are out on the street because they refused to take their meds.
He *could* be required to take meds as part of a conditional release, but they can't actually force him to take them, they can only declare that he failed the terms of his release.
Basically, even at a tard home, there can be consequences for him not taking his meds, but they can't tie him down and force them down his throat. If he doesn't like how the tard home reacts to him not taking his meds, he can walk out the door, or be kicked out the door.
