§43A-7-104.
   
   In the case of a patient who has substantially impaired ability to
   provide adequate self care or custody and who has no home or relatives
   or friends able and willing to care for the patient, the
   superintendent prior to discharge from the facility shall make a
   reasonable effort to arrange an appropriate placement and necessary
   services for the patient. When necessary, the superintendent shall
   refer to other public or voluntary agencies for assistance; provided,
   nothing in this section or Section 7-102 of this title shall be
   construed as restricting the right of an adult patient, when such
   patient has not been found by a court to be incompetent, to determine
   the placement or residence of such patient upon discharge from a
   facility.
