My total guess would be that the rest of that is going to be either in-patient mental rehabilitation, or a mandatory out-patient psych check in schedule, where if she misses too many appointments, back to in-patient or jail.
This is again though a total guess; I do not know how the UK system works.
EDIT:
Ahhh haha, just because its from the Independent doesn't mean the story took place in the UK, derp.
So its Virginia... uh, yeah, same guess, I don't know how this works in Virginia either.
