If you are deemed not to be a 'flight risk,' the US Constitution grants defendants the right to reasonable bail. If, during your bailbond hearing, the judge rules that you are eligible for release on bond - after the guarantee of a cash amount or pedging property of value sufficient enough to guarantee your subsequent apperance - you are released until your next court date. Your bailbond can be supplied by either private persons (usually family or friends) or via a bailbondsman who will post the bond in return for the payment of a percentage of your bail amount.
