After a wild year, Amanda Bynes is going home. According to TMZ, the 27-year-old actress has checked out of The Canyon rehab facility in Malibu where she’d been seeking treatment for mental illness since September.

Bynes had been receiving inpatient treatment, and doctors determined that her conditioned had stabilized thanks to medication and counseling. She plans to stay at her family’s home in the greater Los Angeles area, under the supervision of her mother, and will also receive outpatient treatment during this time. Before arriving at The Canyon, Bynes was in the psychiatric ward of UCLA Hospital after being placed on a 5150 involuntary hold following a string of erratic behavior, wigs and regrettable Twitter activity.

Here’s hoping the talented performer and former child star is getting the help she needs. Take a look at her transformation before the public eye, below.
